Dibdin's Bibliographical Antiquarian tours, made shortly after the end of the long-running wars with France, along with everyone else and his dog who could afford it, apparently. Dibdin's tour, however, is unique in being one made with the chief purpose of admiring fine libraries across the continent, though of course architecture and local manners are considered as well. Dibdin is best-known as the founder of the Roxburghe Club, convened initially to mark the sale of the Duke of Roxburghe's famous library in June 1812, and then re-formed each year on its anniversary. It became the very first Book Club, and remains the most exclusive in the world, with no more than 40 active members at any one time.

I-II front covers detached & rear joints cracked, rear cover of Vol. III stained, intermittent foxing). First Edition. The Bibliographical Decameron, written in the same dialogue manner and with the same interlocutors as the Bibliomania, "is perhaps the most lavish of all Dibdin's works and, especially in the Large Paper copies, the best printedIts publication was a financial success and doubtless marks the high-water mark of the Dibdinian bibliomania." (Windle & Pippin) Dibdin destroyed the plates for the book at a meeting of the Roxburgh Club. "This work forms one of the monuments of typographical bibliography. As in the style of its production it is the most sumptuous, so in the nature of its contents it may be said to be one of the most interesting books relative to ancient and modern printing" (Bigmore & Wyman). The estimated number of copies printed of this regular paper issue ranges from 750 to 900 plus 50 on large paper. As usual this set is without the rare ninth plate listed by Windle in Vol. I, which was not ready at the time of publication and occurs in only a few copies. Bigmore & Wyman pp. 169-170. Jackson 40.
