Description

24 volumes.

These are the earliest printed book auction records, with entries for approximately 60,000 titles and prices realized at about 300 Dutch auctions held between 1702 and 1778. The volumes are a gold mine of uniquely valuable information about the Dutch booktrade in the eighteenth century: what was sold, when, by whom, and for how much; and they often provide bibliographical details not found elsewhere.
