Before there was search, there was Sabin. In A Dictionary Of Books Relating To America, Joseph Sabin charts the printed record of a continent from first encounters to the modern United States. Every entry opens a door. Volume XXII continues this americana reference dictionary with carefully organised notices of authors, titles, imprints, editions, and the breadcrumbs that lead to originals. Part annotated bibliography reference, part united states bibliography, it is indispensable for tracing books on american discovery, colonial america publications, and other early american history sources. Compiled in the nineteenth century at the height of antiquarian scholarship, Sabin's work became the standard finding aid for Americana, cited by libraries and dealers worldwide. Its methodical scope still preserves evidence of what was printed, circulated, and remembered. Scholars will value its reach; casual history lovers will enjoy the sheer variety of voices, voyages, sermons, laws, and narratives that shaped colonial era america. For librarians it remains a practical librarian cataloging tool, translating scarce citations into usable records; for the book trade it serves as a rare book collectors guide to identifying editions and understanding rarity in rare americana collecting. As a multi-volume bibliography set, the sabin americana bibliography stands among the great reference works that defined Americana studies. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint -- a collector's item and a cultural treasure, worthy on the desk of the researcher and on the shelf of the classic-literature collector.
