This book presents an autobiographical exploration penned by the individual known for his commanding bids and formidable acquisitions, which sent waves of apprehension through the ranks of budding book enthusiasts attending auctions in London each year. Dr. Rosenbach, a true bibliophile from birth, made it an annual tradition to depart from the United Kingdom during the summer season, bearing a valuable cargo of cherished books. Within the pages of this book, readers will find reproductions of renowned manuscripts and a refreshingly unique approach to illustration.
