Book excerpt: This work examines book auctions since the 17th century. The auction has provided a commercial focus for sectors of the book trade for over four centuries. Initiated on the continent of Europe, the practice was adopted in London in the late 17th century, rapidly becoming a primary system for the collecting and dispersal of books. The development in the 19th century of the great London-based auction houses created a new commercial environment in which books and works of art became part of a worldwide cultural agenda. This volume is the 20th in the Publishing Pathways series.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reprint of the first edition. Part of the Publishing Pathways Series. The history of private libraries is hard to write. With the books themselves today almost invariably dispersed or absorbed into large institutional collections, they only occasionally achieve coherent visibility. The libraries must be reconstructed using a variety of means, with lists, bookplates, shelf marks, binders' records, owner's markings and contemporary correspondence all playing a part. More often than not the only access we have is through an auction catalogue, appearing like a meteor at the moment of a collection's dissolution; but such catalogues, the by-product of a commercial process rather than a careful record, are often tantalizing and enigmatic in the evidence they offer.This collection of essays by leading specialists in the field, some with extensive auction-house experience, reveals how a variety of collectors at different periods set about amassing their libraries, what they acquired, how they organized, catalogued and displayed them, and the means by which their books came to be dispersed. Illustrated.

This book was released on 2005 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New York Public Librarys collection of nearly three hundred Western European illuminated manuscripts is one of the largest in America but also one that is very little known. Dating from the turn of the tenth century unto well into the period of the Renaissance, these works give vivid testimony to the creative impulses of the often nameless craftsmen who discovered ever-new ways of animating the contents of hand-produced books through inventive and sometimes exuberant manipulations of all the elements of the book: form and format, layout, script, decoration, illustration, and binding. To introduce this magnificent collection and many of its most important works to scholars and the wider audience, The Splendor of the Word presents one hundred manuscripts of particular cultural, historical, and artistic significance, selected from the Librarys collection.--Amazon.com.
