Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from The Romance of Book-Collecting There are plenty of people - in fact, they are in the great majority even among bookish men - who regard antiquated sale-catalogues in the light of such much rubbish, and yet, when intelligently consulted, these memorials of a bygone day not only have their uses, but are positively interesting.
