Ancient definition book
An ancient book is that manuscript which, as the word itself says, was produced manually.
For its realization have not been exploited some machines.
The pages of an ancient book can also be defined as ancient, from the period of its creation (between the 15th and 19th centuries).
Even before the introduction of printing , there was an increase in the demand for books, thanks above all to the use of paper.
Bibliography
The bibliography in ancient and rare books is inserted to provide specific references, as detailed as possible.
Thanks to their use, all individual editions printed at an earlier time could be identified.
What is the bibliography ?
It is a printed catalog , which describes editions of ancient books , in a complete way.
What are rare books?
They are all those types of collectible books that are difficult to find.
Old books are not necessarily rare books , unlike Renaissance books which tend, in any case, to be worth a lot, thanks to their age.
A book can be rare if it is in first editions .
This is because publishers put fewer copies into circulation, in case it doesn't sell.
Books signed by the author are another category defined as "rare", as are all those books that belonged to famous people .
