The durability of paper; report of the special committee set up by the Library Association.

London: Library Association, nd [c. 1930]. No edition stated. 8vo, 24pp. Original maroon cloth with title label to front board. Binding a little marked, endpapers spotted, text block slightly browned else contents very good. There is a certain irony in observing how this book has lasted (about 75 years), as the prelims are deliberately printed on a higher quality paper than the remainder of the text block. One might argue that this book is of more use 75 years on than when it was first printed. :>)
