A Book for All Readers / An Aid to the Collection, Use, and Preservation of Books and the Formation of Public and Private Libraries

by Ainsworth Rand Spofford

"Full of valuable information for authors and writers. . . . A most instructive and excellent manual."—George Wm. Curtis in Harper's Magazine.

"This handy and useful book is written with perfect fairness and abounds in hints which writers will do well to 'make a note of.' . . . There is a host of other matters treated succinctly and lucidly which it behoves beginners in literature to know, and we can recommend it most heartily to them."—London Spectator.
