On Reserve in the Corcoran Library

Note: These twelve books are personal copies. The first four are collections of essays, the next three are defenses and definitions of bibliography, and the final grouping are books about reading, libraries, and book form. I put these titles on reserve for your interest and curiosity. They are not required reading.
