Full bibliographical descriptions and collations are provided as are voluminous notes on contents, bindings, variants, advertisements, authors, publishers and other useful details. Wolff attempted to acquire every English novel published between 1837 and 1901 as well as periodicals, annuals and yellow-backs. He also pursued books of travel, politics, verse, plays and other novels outside those dates if by the same authors. He succeeded to the extent that this catalogue contains more than four times the entries in Sadleir. Included are about 80% of Sadleir's titles, with something new to say about many of them. The set goes on to describe in detail six or seven thousand titles Sadleir did not have. Cross referenced to Sadleir and other standard authorities. Comprehensive index in the last volume. The five volumes are uniformly bound in the original gilt-stamped green cloth. Oversize Hardcover. 9" wide by 12.25" tall.
