Inhaltsangabe:

Oak Knoll Press, known for exquisite books, has produced an especially handsome, leatherbound and hefty volume to contain this bibliography of the Contominas Collection of books in Athens, Greece. Arranged alphabetical by author, 825 entries are devoted to books on travel, archaeology, or other topics, recounted by visitors to Greece, dating from the 15th to the mid-20th century. Each entry contains bibliographic information, a physical description of the volume, and a description of its contents. Drawings, watercolors, engravings, title pages, and bindings in the collection are reproduced throughout in color plates of excellent quality, some of them full page, placed alongside the book's entry. An essay is included on travellers' notions of Greece throughout the period covered by Contominas's collection. Three indexes are provided: to names; printers, publishers, booksellers, and bookbinders; and provenances. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
