In den WarenkorbHardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Rosenbach: A Biography; by Edwin Wolf 2nd with John Fleming; The World Publishing Company, Cleveland and New York, 1960. First edition. From the blurb - Abraham Simon Wolf Rosenbach had plump red cheeks, a twinkle in his eye, walked - as a friend… once said - as a penguin would walk, if a penguin could walk, loke Rosy, puffed everlastingly on a pipe or cigar, drank a bottle of whiskey a day, and was the greatest antiquarian bookseller the world has seen. Without much pressing he would admit as much. "The Doctor", as he was familiarly known to collector-friends and employees, for decades bought most of the important rare books and manuscripts sold at auction in England and America. Front-page articles heralded his achievements and his name became synonymous with great books at great prices. Here, re-created by two of the men who worked with him and knew him best, is a wonderfully rounded, human picture of the man himself. No one interested in books, in salesmanship, in people, will fail to be thoroughly absorbed by this warm and appreciative biography of one of the most notable figures of our time. Bookseller's note - I acquired my copy of this book early in my book collecting days and it was like reading a thriller. I think this planted the germ that eventually grew roots into my bookselling career of today. I have read hundreds of books about books and book people and if I had to declare my hero, it would have to be Rosenbach. This book, 616 pages, is in near-fine condition in a near-fine dust jacket, that is enclosed in a protective mylar wrap.
