' This is one of the very best books on the pleasures of book collecting. But that:' I should say, is a bit further ad- vanced-not for the beginner but rather for the junior or senior who has progressed to the question, How do I become a discrimi- nating collector? This volume is based on a series of lectures given at the University of Michigan, partly to explain the William L. Clements Library, but chiefly to preach the fun we find in col- lecting books, manuscripts, maps and prints. cache/crl-10339.pdf txt/crl-10339.txt
