With the index in a separate volume. § First edition thus. “Dibdin's voluptuously copious account of stories and characters connected with book production book trading and book collecting which inspired generations of bibliophiles and bibliographers. The work came as an enlargement of Joseph Ames's account of printing in England from 1471 to 1600 published 1749. Ames's intuition was the prime importance of first-hand knowledge of books the primacy of the title-page on printed lists and catalogues. Dibdin adopted this innovative rigor and endowed it with his own taste for anecdote and romance. The compelling quality of his writings was acutely felt by Isaac D'Israeli who on receiving a copy of Dibdin's Bibliomania wrote to him: "I have not yet recovered from the delightful delirium into which your Bibliomania has completely thrown me." A major player in the process of rationalisation of the book trade and the sharp rise in prices that took place in the middle decades of the nineteenth century Dibdin's flamboyant character is well reflected in Walter Scott's words: 'All bibliomaniacs must remember you long Dibdin as he who first united their antiquarian details with good humored raillery and cheerfulness'. Dibdin's passion for books together with several personally financed lavish publishing undertakings which never provided a worthy return threw him and his family into misery.†Finch.
