Mansfield Centre, Connecticut: Martino Publishing, 1998. Thirteen volumes bound as one book. BRAND NEW in perfect condition. NO rubbing. NO fading. Bright, clean, square and tight. Sharp corners. NOT a library discard. NO owner's name or bookplate. NOT a remainder. Fresh and crisp -- obviously never read. No date (but 1998, First Martino printing, which according to the prospectus would be "Limited to 150 copies"). Each page of this miniprint edition contains nine pages, reduced in size, from the original 13 volume edition by Charles Evans/Clifford K. Shipton. When using this edition we find a magnifying glass is helpful to our aging eyes even though the publisher says the print size is "legible to the naked eye" and that the print is "larger than the Scarecrow edition" and "easier to read." Some 40,000 items are described by this key reference. Includes Bibliographical and Biographical Notes.
