collectors' terms

Secret book
Our term, though never formally used in catalog descriptions, for a book about which we know something that few others do. These secrets are usually only revealed by us in our catalogs or exclusively on our website. Care for an example? Well, that wouldn't make for a very good secret. Fortunately for you, secrets rarely stay secret for very long, particularly in the information age. So, it is no longer much of a secret that the classic holiday film It's a Wonderful Life was based on a little gift book entitled The Greatest Gift by Philip Van Doren Stern. What is still a secret is how to tell the first trade printing of this book (this copy with a contemporary inscription was offered in our Catalog 72) from the many reprints that look almost identical. Cagey, aren't we?
