N/A The Ashley Library a Catalogue of Printed Books, Manuscripts, and Autograph Letters Collected by Thomas J Wise with a New Preface by Simon Nowell-Smith [Complete in 11 Volumes]
London: Dawsons of Pall Mall, 1971. Reprint. Hardcover. Cream cloth boards with gilt titles on spine and gilt decoration on boards, a few spine ends lightly bumped, frontis to each vol and numerous plates and facsimiles throughout, internally clean and bright. This is a facsimile reprint of a privately printed catalogue of the noted bibliophile Thomas J. Wise. Wise collected one of the the most remarkable collections of rare books and manuscripts in modern English literature but is perhaps more famous for the forgeries he produced and which his preeminent position in the field allowed him to market without questions being raised as to their authenticity. Against each entry is the shelfmark of the book in the British Library which aquired most of Wise's collection, Small 4to 9" - 11" tall. VG+ .
