Collectors' Terms

A selection from BTC's Illustrated Glossary - part of our new, online reference guide.

Carter's ABC for Book Collectors

An excellent book collectors' glossary, by John Carter and first published in 1952. It is in fact perhaps the definitive glossary of its kind and highly recommended (despite the fact that it doesn't have pictures and doesn't make tiresome allusions to Between the Covers). Notice how worn our copy is - we never consult it but from time to time a table leg needs to be shorn up.
