This bibliography is based on Sir Geoffrey Keynes's 1929 Nonesuch Press bibliography, but while retaining and expanding the original book's basic structure it is in most respects a new work.

5.0 out of 5 stars
scholarly, but a must for all Jane Austen book collectors,
By Bradford Legge (Chicago, IL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Bibliography of Jane Austen (Soho Bibliographies) (Hardcover)
This book is a marvelous tool for collectors of Jane Austen's books. Gilson has obviously performed a thorough investigation and produced a polished piece which comes fairly close to being complete. As a collector, I have only rarely come across editions of jane austen's work which Gilson has not detailed in his book. The occassional pictures included within the text were a welcome treat. I had hoped to see more but detailed descriptions painted quite vivid and accurate pictures within my mind. This book was not intended for light reading. It is scholarly and reference oriented. It is the kind of a book a collector would need at his side constantly, not one to be read from cover to cover and then placed on the shelf. The only criticism I have of Gilson's work is that he neglects to include any trace of the emotion that one would expect from someone who liked, respected, even loved an author enough to spend so much time on her work. For myself, I thrill at finding old editions of Jane Austen's books. Thumbing through the leaves of these books is like entering a time machine. It's both an intriguing and surreal experience which has kept me interested for many years.
