"Are you a novice reader of rare book cataloguing who is just beginning to realize that there might be a difference between a "joint"and a "hinge"?

Or are you on the other hand a connoisseur of the bibliographer's terms of art who savors the very sound and cadence — as well as the exact and enticing images that the wordsand sentences raise — in a description like the following: "18th-century olive morocco; round gilt spines extra without bands; gilt triple-line fillet frames on covers with gilt corner devices; single gilt rule on board edges; gilt inner dentelles. Dutch-style printed endpapers with gilt and green stars and dots on a white field. All edges gilt; all pages ruled in red in the 17th-century style"?

With Percy H. Muir, Carter was a prime mover of the legendary 1963 exhibition from which was derived that landmark text and guide among guides — Printing and the Mind of Man. Carter's ABC (first printed in 1952) was revised and expanded by Nicolas Barker, his friend and the respected editor of The Book Collector, making good use of the author's own annotations and bringing to bear his own great knowledge and brisk style. A new introduction was also provided. This eighth edition incorporates the "lexicon of new bibliographical terms" brought into use by the Internet, in addition to other additions and amendments arising since the publication of the previous revised edition. The result has been lauded as "the wittiest and most instructive alphabet for incipient bibliophiles ever compiled" (Books); it has been asserted that "No better guide to the whole subject has appeared in print" (Chicago Tribune)." — Stock No. 6213 — £24.00

Red cloth gilt, no d/j, covers rubbed and faded, no d/j, evidence of staining to some pages (particularly noticeable on some of the photographic plates), some plates loose: generally, a worn copy, but complete and rare in this edition. After the Great War and the break-up of the Ottoman Empire, internal security and control of Mesopotamia (as it was then known) was placed in Britain's hands who exercised that control through the government of India which provided and administered the main garrison of two divisions -17th (34th, 51st and 52nd Brigades) and 18th (53rd, 54th and 55th Brigades) - plus five (Indian) battalions for L of C and Baghdad defence and a cavalry brigade. The British component in all this consisted of six battalions, two cavalry regiments, divisional artillery and MG units. In August/September reinforcements arrived in the form of the 6th (Indian) Division, newly created to replace the 6th Division that had been forced to surrender in Kut-al-Amara in April1916.The detailed order of battle of the force is given in an appendix. The C in C, appointed in March 1920, was the author of this book, Haldane, who was commanding 10th Infantry Brigade in August 1914 whose doings he described in A Brigade of the Old Army, also reprinted by N&M Press, was promoted to command of the 3rd Division in November 1914 and finally to command of VI Corps in August 1916. He was on half pay when recalled to take command in Mesopotamia. The trouble began in May 1920 when certain Arab tribes rebelled against the occupying force and presented a threat to the new Arab government soon to come into existence. It had been estimated there were 300,000 rifles in the country and of these the rebels had between 50,000 and 60,000. Haldane had been instructed to complete the job of disarming and punishing them and depriving of rifles all who possessed them for self-protection and use in inter-tribal feuds. This book describes a classic colonial type campaign in which the object was achieved in five months. In all 12,000 British and 61,000 Indian troops were involved along with 60,000 followers (non-combattants). Casualties amounted to 2269 of which 375 were British (19 officers and 28 other ranks killed). Rebel casualties were estimated at 8,450. One VC was awarded, posthumously, to Capt G.S Henderson DSO, MC, 2nd Manchesters.
