[MAGGS BROS] "Curiouser and Curiouser!" - cried Alice: A Catalogue of Strange Books and Curious Titles
London: Maggs Bros., 1932. Catalogue No. 574. First Edition. Hardcover. Small quarto. Originally issued in pictorial wrappers, this copy has been rebound in quarter red goat over maroon boards (original wrappers bound in). 220 pp. plus indexes. Illustrated with full page plates, mostly in b&w, some foldout. A beautiful, near fine copy.
Contains 442 total items with detailed descriptions. One of the most unusual catalogues I have encountered. Includes some extremely rare works from the 15th through 20th centuries. Several occult works and many other oddities. With an 8 page introductory essay about the catalogue. Most of the books listed are now practically unobtainable.
