Added to this are all the standard bibliographic details (page number, date of publication, and price), as well as such information as first and subsequent edition publication, and, of special note, specific details pertaining to all of the various binding states (complete with photos of those binding states). As an added bonus, there are rarely seen photos of interior details such as: Limited, signed, and numbered editions; and unique endpapers. And, the rarest of all, photos of scarce ephemera.
