Published to accompany an exhibition by the same name, this volume contains a discussion of the different uses and types of books in the John Crerar Collection of Rare Books at the U. of Chicago Library and how these reflect 19th-century patterns of collecting in the areas of natural history and science. There is a checklist of the exhibition and a packet of six postcards, but no index. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
