The Lost Gutenberg

The Astounding Story of One Book's Five-Hundred-Year Odyssey

Margaret Leslie Davis

The 15th-century Gutenberg Bible, of which fewer than 50 originals survive, is the most prized of all early printed books. Davis follows the journey of one copy, telling the stories of the bibliophiles who have owned it since it emerged onto the market in 1836. She focuses on the quest of Estelle Doheny, the oil tycoon’s widow who was its last private owner, to add it to her vast library. Slightly off-mint and felt-tip mark on upper or lower trimmed edge.
