MOSHER, Thomas Bird, edit : BIBELOT

(MOSHER, Thomas Bird, editor). THE BIBELOT. A reprint of poetry and prose for book lovers, chosen in part from scarce editions and sources not generally known. Portland ME.: Thomas Bird Mosher, 1895-1915. 21 volumes, including index. 12mo., blue cloth, paper spine labels, top edges gilt. Bruce Rodgers, the noted American book designer, once referred to Mosher as "the Aldus of the nineteenth century", and in a letter to Mosher now in the Houghton Library at Harvard University, wrote: "I did mean the reference to Aldus seriously - for you have (to the despair of us all) succeeded in doing just what he did 400 years ago, almost to a year, i.e. making beautiful little editions of the best writers in inexpensive form." This set is near fine, showing only occasional slight soiling and some sunning at the spines., Fine
