hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. First Edition. Publication: Cleveland and New York, The World Publishing Company, 1960. Formatting: 8vo, pp. 616. Condition Report: Very Good.

Fleming, this monumental, insiderâs biography offers an intimate and comprehensive look into the high-stakes, eccentric world of rare book collecting during its golden age. N/A (illustrator).…
