Par MM. P. Deschamps et G. Brunet. Eight vols. bound in seven. Thick 8vo, later levant morocco, sides & spines decorated in gilt, dentelles gilt., uncut. Paris: Firmin Didot Frères, fils, 1860-80. A handsome set of the fifth and final edition, edited by Brunet himself, and includes the three supplementary volumes published after Brunet’s death. “The best and last of the general rare book bibliographies…Brunet’s annotations about the scholarly and commercial value of the books he listed are often still unsurpassed. There is hardly any other bibliography in which the wide range of its author’s knowledge is more favorably displayed.”–Grolier Club, Bibliography, 118. This set lacks the geography volume issued in 1870. Fine set and still in use today. With the bookplates of Phiroze K. Randeria and R.D. Wilson and the booklabel of W.A. Harding, Madingley.
