Manuel du Libraire (5 vols.)
Manuel du Libraire et de l'Amateur de livres, contenant: 1. Un nouveau dictionnaire bibliographique, 2. Une table en forme de catalogue raisonné. 4me édition originale, entièrement revue (...). 5 vols.
Paris, Silvestre, 1842-1844. 24 x 17 cm. Five voluminous volumes, uniformly bound in red morocco-backed marbled boards (5 ribs, gilt). Nice marbled flyleaves. (8), xxvi, 824; (4), 788; (4), 896; (4), 836; (4), xxxii, 848 p. Tops gilt. Printed on good paper, uncut. 4th completely revised edition. Edges and corners a bit worn, some foxing. In vol. I the bookplate of Cornelis Kruyskamp (1911-1990), one of The Netherlands' foremost lexicographers (of Van Dale's dictionary fame). And with the signature of Theodorus Borret ('Th. Borret S.T.D.', 1812-1890), theologian and professor of archaeology.
A comprehensive manual in French with its four volumes A-Z and its methodic table and collection of Collections. And a joy for all bibliographers! With Kruyskamp's paraphed remark 'In terms of execution far to be preferred above the 5th edition' (in Dutch). Attractive bindings.
