William Targ in his Foreword to A Miscellany for Bibliophiles:
"Next to talking about books comes the pleasure of reading them, especially books about books. This is an extra category I would recommend to collectors. Regardless of your other interests, no one should be without a hundred or more miscellaneous books about books: biographies of great collectors and booksellers, printers, papermakers, typefounders, publishers, etc. Bibliographies are essential tools, as are catalogues. Actually, good rare book catalogues are often the best possible bedtime reading, and one always learns something from them. But getting back to books about books: I would be hard put to prepare a list of the hundred best - there are so many excellent works in this field."
