The object of The Book-Collector's Quarterly is defined in its title: it is a periodical, issued four times a year, devoting itself wholeheartedly to the interests of those who collect books of any kind.

Editorial notes.

It is bad enough to be extant in an age when everybody almost is an 'antiquarian bookseller' and when every dreary little town is the den of those who think you only pick up a book (probably Toplady's Sermons, lacking pp. 161-256) because you intend to sell it to the Americans; but at least there are still some books.

Bringing them home.
