About This Item
New Castle, DE: Oak Knoll, 2004. Near Fine. 8vo. 198 pp., describing items 446-1369. Original blue printed wrappers. This volume is tantamount to a bibliography of Incunabula Reference works, very well described, and featuring a useful 15-page index. The reference library of the august antiquarian bookselling firm of H.P. Kraus was legendary, and was justly considered to be the largest and most important ever formed by an antiquarian bookseller. HPK was a leading purveyor of incunabula, and it could be argued that the incunabula reference books he used were the definitely the ones worth owning.
