"This is a rarity among bibliographies: it can be read...not only does Mr. Greenly offer a careful description of each title, he goes on to identify the author, summarize the contents, comment on the printer or circumstances of publication, quote other scholars, and generally whet one's appetite for a copy. Such detail attests to his familiarity with the books he lists. Furthermore, it marks him as a bibliophile and collector, which he is."(from introduction by Howard H. Peckham, Director, William L.
