William Caxton (1424-1491)
New York: Burt Franklin, 1968. 8o. 195 pp. With a frontispiece portrait of William Caxton, and Original buckram. NOT ex-library! Very good. Item #3143
Groundbreaking approach to a biography of England's first printer, based on the evidence, and not mythology. First published in 1925, this is the facsimile reprint on "long-life paper." Plomer (1856-1928) writes with authority, having been Assistant Keeper at the British Museum (Library) and one of the foremost bibliographers in Britain at that time.
