Bibliography (Book Collecting)

Literally, "Book Geography". This is the study of books. For the purposes of book collectors, this usually refers to analytical bibliography, which is the study of books as objects, with the most useful works for us providing information to allow us to identify the various editions, printings, states, issues and/or points of issue.
If one is seriously collecting an author or subject area, that person would be well advised to identify and acquire the best bibliographic information they can. Quality bibliographies are often out-of-print and difficult to locate. If an out-of-print bibliographic work is common, I might question it's value. The better ones are seldom inexpensive. Consider though,the value of the books being collected. If the use of a bibliography prevents a collector from making a single dumb buy, then the price of the work is often paid for. Rremember what the man told me: you pay the tuition, or you pay the ignorance tax.
Critical bibliography is primarily concerned with content and influences thereon.
