description: The Rosenbach Museum &amp; Library here presents many of its best-known volumes &amp; re-examines oft-told tales of the Rosenbach brothers (Philip &amp; Dr. A.S.W.) &amp; their legendary buying &amp; selling of remarkable books. As a result of extensive research in the Rosenbach Company Archive &amp; in the papers of English libraries &amp; collectors, Leslie Morris has reconstructed the Rosenbachs famous purchases from the Holford, Phillipps, &amp; York Minster collections in considerable detail &amp; has compiled -- for the first time -- checklists of the 297 individual titles acquired by the Rosenbach Co. in these private treaty sales. This exhibition could include only a selection of volumes from the complete checklists. Illustrations.
