In collaboration with Konstantinos Staikos, a leading authority on library history, Leonora Navari has created an indispensable aid to any scholar of Greek culture. This richly annotated bibliography documents the renowned collection of Dimitris Contominas whose library was assembled with the goal of collecting every book by scholars and visitors to Greece from the fifteenth to the mid-twentieth century. Each book is completely described bibliographically and the extensive notes include information on printing history, biographical data of the authors and illustrators, the significance of the work and its connections with the historical context of its time. The historical introduction is bilingual in English and Greek. There are over 200 illustrations, most in colour an multiple indexes.

From a review by Dennis Rhodes: "Mr Dimitris Contominas.has not chosen to collect the earliest examples of printing in Greek, but books of all ages up to the present, and often books in English or French, which illustrate in some way or other the traveller's delight in Greek landscape, history and literature. This beautiful book, compiled with loving care by Leonora Navari (who previouslv worked in the Blackmer l.ibrary and is also known for her studies on the Gennadius Library). describes in detail, often accompanied by stunning illustrations in colour, the 825 volumes of Mr Contominas's choice." Navari notes in her introduction that notwithstanding her prevcious cataloguing of the Blackmer and Atabey libraries, some half of the books in the Contominas collection were new to her. As new.
