crl-14987	Ryan, Michael T.	A Potencie of Life: Books in Society (Book Review)	1995	3	.pdf	application/pdf	2086	81	54	There are a great many published aids for booksellers, book collectors, and li- brarians, guiding them through the maze of buying and selling books, de- scribing and preserving them, calling at- tention to their most arcane attributes, and otherwise providing aid and corn- fort to bibliographical tyros as well as to those more seasoned in the art of biblio- phily. The fact that so much has .happened in the field since 1986 blunts the urgency that Barker seems to want to impart to the volume, but li- brarians who either teach the history of the book or who are called on to do occasional presentations to classes on book history, have here a useful collec- tion to consult.	cache/crl-14987.pdf	txt/crl-14987.txt
