London: Maggs Bros., December, 1921. Softcover. Good. 417 items, paper covers with usual splits, chips. 53 plates, several in the biblia section - including a photo and page from a 1477 Biblia Sacra Latina, with the arms and motto of the Archbishop of Salzburg, and several items on various editions of the Koran. Includes descriptions and examples from many illustrated books, a description of the "only known copy" of a HITHERTO UNDESCRIBED SPANISH MISSAL (for what they were asking, it should have been one-of-a-kind), and plates from several grand looking Spanish and Portuguese books. A great deal of Spanish, Latin, Greek, interspersed with English works. As usual, an interesting read. Rather fragile, but in one piece, and the plates (printed on better paper) are in excellent condition. 8.25"x6.75", 176 pages. 13.4
