News for Bibliophiles

The Society of the Dofobs, an association of book-collectors of Chicago, Illinois, whose first publication, the "Love-Letters of Nathaniel Hawthorne," is one of the most valuable of book-club publications. This, is a publication of manuscripts in the great W. K Bixby collection. The manuscripts of the poems, seven in number, are reproduced in exact facsimile even to the waterstains on the paper. Fortunately, these facsimiles are printed on one side of the sheet only. The facsimiles show numerous and interesting differences between the text as originally written and that of the printed editions. From the Riccardi Press, has just appeared "The Revival of Printing: A Bibliographical Catalogue of Works," issued by the chief modern English Presses.
