Forty Years Among the Old Booksellers of Philadelphia: With Bibliographical Remarks (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Forty Years Among the Old Booksellers of Philadelphia: With Bibliographical Remarks

The old book trade was essentially different to what it is now. American books were not so plentiful, and the English sales chiefly supplied our wants.
