Feed your inner bibliophile with this volume on unearthed rare and antiquarian books.

Few collectors are as passionate or as dogged within the pursuit of their quarry as collectors of rare books. In Rare Books Uncovered, expert on rare and antiquarian books Rebecca Rego Barry recounts the stories of remarkable discoveries from the sector of book collecting.

Read in regards to the circle of relatives whose discovery of their attic of a copy of Action Comics No. 1–the primary appearance of Superman-saved their home from foreclosure. Or the Salt Lake City bookseller who volunteered for a local fundraiser–and came across a 500-year-old copy of the Nuremberg Chronicle. Or the collector who, even as browsing his local thrift shop, found a collectible copy of Calvary in China–inscribed by the writer to the collector’s grandfather. These tales and lots of others will entertain and inspire casual collectors and hardcore bibliomaniacs alike.
