| DRIFFIELD In Quest of the Perfect Book: The Antiquarian Bookshop Catalogue & Directory (Drif's Guide 1984) London, published by the author, 1984. First Edition. 12mo. with printed card covers and tooth-clip binding, as published. The very first appearance of the now legendary 'Drif's guides' to secondhand bookshops in the UK. The author was already honing his no-holds-barred vitriolic skills, and there are some amusing descriptions, though Mr 'Drif' was clearly a little paranoid regarding shops with "locked back rooms". Of course, many of the bookshops listed are now long-vanished, so this guide also serves as quite a useful historical record. Occasional light pencil annotations. Overall in superb condition. VG+ .
