Best REFERENCE 2016

摘要

Setting out to amend John Carter's classic ABC for Book Collectors, Berger (director emeritus, Phillips Library, Peabody Essex Museum, Salem, MA) has created a dictionary for "anyone who wants to speak intelligently about books." With more than 1,300 entries and 100 illustrations, this insightful work drills down to the specifics of everything from typefaces to legal issues to design and more. Whether readers are curious about the concertina fold or wondering about wood pulp, they'll find answers to questions they never even thought of in this bibliophile's bible.
