Summary "A Bibliography of Bibliography; Or, a Handy Book About Books Which Relate to Books" by Joseph Sabin is a bibliographical guide written in the late 19th century. This work serves as an alphabetical catalogue of significant texts that describe the literature of Great Britain and America, along with select references to works concerning France and Germany. Its comprehensive approach aims to assist librarians and general readers in navigating the vast landscape of bibliographical literature. The beginning of this bibliography sets the stage for its purpose, explaining the need for a more comprehensive examination of bibliographic works than previous compilations had achieved. It expresses Sabin's dissatisfaction with another bibliography and outlines his aim to provide a detailed, personal evaluation of the works included in his catalogue. The opening also discusses the invaluable contributions of notable bibliographers and acknowledges the limitations of such endeavors, affirming this work's intent to be useful for those seeking information about "books about books."
