Book excerpt: Excerpt from Literary Annuals and Gift-Books: A Bibliography With a Descriptive Introduction Some ten years ago my attention was first called to this interesting and well-nigh forgotten phase of printing, by the discovery of a few choice copies of literary annuals and gift-books in my father's library. Not being able to discover any even partially com plete bibliography, I began listing every copy that came to my notice, as a revival of interest in these books was apparent among collectors owing to the fact that the first editions of articles by noted writers, and engravings by well-known artists, were often included.
