The dust jacket reads: In 1750, when the fourth Earl of Chesterfield warned his son against the dangers of biblliomanis, few would have guessed that a passion for book collecting could lead to the surpising obsessions described in this book. More inspiring, especially to today's fledgling collector, are the book collector's with the ability to place their well-trained fingers on forgotten volumes that have in them "the latent capacity to become valuable and curious," After all, what could be more fun than finding value where there seems to be none? For newcomers, this book presents the rare opportunity to look over the shoulders of accomplished book hunters, all with their own successful strategies, as they pursue their prey, to glean some invaluable tips from the pros.
