Notes: At head of title: By Maurice Robert and Frederic Warde. "This manuscript was originally written by Maurice Robert and published under the title 'Code de la bibliophilie moderne' by the Union latine d'éditions in Paris. It was translated, by Jacques Le Clercq, into English and then underwent a thorough revision at the hands of Frederic Warde, who sought to make the phraseology more intelligible to American collectors and prepared a new list of 'terms', particularly intended for the American collector. This book was designed by Frederic Warde, printed in the Bembo types by the ... Yale university press, and bound by the Russell-Rutter company."
