Collation, Reference Notation, & Statement of Signing: A Workbook - Paperback
About this item
by Carlo Dumontet (Author)
This workbook discusses the various techniques which can be employed in book collation writing in order to provide readers with the capacity to construct collations and to interpret published ones. W.W. Greg's and Fredson Bowers's approach is discussed in depth, together with Thomas Tanselle's view on how to handle inserted leaves. Upon this Greg-Bowers-Tanselle bedrock other possible solutions are also discussed. The exposition relies on a large number of examples and also on some exercises in order to render this workbook as practical a tool as possible. This workbook will be an invaluable guide for students of bibliography, early printed books cataloguers, and booksellers, but it is hoped that all those engaged in collation-writing may find it a useful reference tool.
