1979.
Hardback.
Large format.
Very good condition in a almost very good dustwrapper.
"Over 250 illustrations demonstrate the range of ex-libris design, from the earliest armorials to today’s wide variety of styles, and in themselves provide a comprehensive historical survey of bookplates and of book labels - their humbler but no less historically interesting counterparts." Large format. Brown cloth with gilt title to spine. B/w illustrations. ISBN: 071537785X. Spine and corners slightly bumped. Wrapper is unevenly faded with edge-creasing; a few chips; some marks.
