deals with all aspects of books, ancient and modern; with libraries, the book trade and book collecting. The articles present well-informed and lively views on subjects of great interest to anyone who cares about books. The contributors are distinguished and their contributions authoritative, but its editorial policy is to ensure that each article, however specialised, will be intelligible and interesting to all THE BOOK COLLECTOR'S readers.
The leading article addresses subjects and matters of topical interest: it is generally first in the field, and it is notoriously independent in the views it expresses. The News & Comment section offers a wide-ranging report on recent sales, catalogues, exhibitions, publications and current events: wide-ranging and well informed, its paragraphs are the first to be read by everyone who matters in the world of books. The book reviews are both readable and authoritative. The Bibliographical Notes & Queries section is an international notice-board for bibliophiles. The advertisement pages provide a directory of antiquarian booksellers, auction houses, publishers, institutions and suppliers from all parts of the world, as well as a classified section for individual needs.
THE BOOK COLLECTOR is generously illustrated, well printed on good paper and attractively designed. It is published quarterly in March, June, September and December. It is available only by subscription, direct from the publisher or through booksellers and subscription agents. A sample copy of a recent issue will be gladly sent on request.
