Jacques-Charles Brunet (1780-1867).
Manual for the bookseller and book lover.

Paris, Silvestre, 1842-1844, 5 volumes, strong octavo, half-leather binding, [5]-XXV-823 p. / 786-[2] p. / 896 p. / 835 p. / XXXII-846-[2] p.. On laid paper. Some foxing foxing. Printed on two columns, figures in the text, volume 5 includes the complete Blanchet table and the methodical table in the form of a catalog raisonné based on Blanchet’s table

“We remain amazed by the authority and by the certainty of its judgment. Unusual conjunction of knowledge and taste, without any dogmatism. Basically, this book of books responded to three very distinct requirements. It was indeed appropriate to resort to the triple approach of the bookseller that he had been, of the bibliophile that he was throughout his life (with a predilection for choice bindings), of the bibliographer and of the scholar of whom he remains the paragon. » (Jacques Quentin, In French in the text, n° 281)
