Fascinating bibliographical work by Deinard delineating the various categories of his fine personal Library and the method by which he determines the rarity of a particular book. Written in his typically bombastic and entertaining style, it contains many interesting tidbits of bibliograhical information, iconoclastic theories, as well as a section devoted to literary forgeries
