DEINARD, EPHRAIM. Devir Ephraim [prospectus of the Library and Antiquities of Ephraim Deinard]

(DEINARDIANA).

St. Louis

(1926)

ONE OF ONLY ONE HUNDRED COPIES. Fronticepiece portrait plus four plates

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
