Lettered Copy

Book Collecting: The Last Refuge of the Illiterate [Signed, Lettered]

Bowden, Charles

Notes: One of 26 hardcover copies of this essay gently mocking book collectors. "If you really want to get a leg up in this business, you focus on failed scribblers such as myself, folks who write books that don't sell...and therefore are inherently scarce. Put simply, the only books worth collecting are the ones nobody cares to read."

8 pages.

Edition + Condition: First edition (first printing). A fine hardcover copy with a paper label on the cover. This is copy B of 26, signed by Bowden on the colophon.

Publication: Salt Lake City: Ken Sanders Rare Books, 2005.
