A Catalogue of the Cotsen Children's Library (Complete in 8 Volumes)
Princeton University Library, 2018-2021. Cloth. The uncommon complete catalogue of the magnificent Lloyd Cotsen children's collection, now housed at the Firestone Library at Princeton University. All 8 exhaustive volumes --thick, tall, uniform quartos-- are in easily Near Fine to Fine condition, with most of the volumes leaning more towards pristine. Vols. I-II, in their silken, light-blue cloth, cover "The Pre-1801 Imprints" and were originally published in 2020; Vols. III-IV, in their silken purple cloth, cover "The Nineteenth Century" and were published in 2018; Vols. V-VI, in their silken green cloth, cover "The Twentieth Century" and were also published in 2020. And finally, the 2 "Comprehensive Index" volumes, in their silken gray cloth, were published in 2021. A sweeping undertaking, the catalogue itself --not to mention the remarkable collection it painstakingly records-- is a marvel of bibliographic achievement in its own right. Fine. Item #23582
