The International League of Antiquarian Booksellers (ILAB) is pleased to
announce that the following titles - A Dictionary of Abbreviations Commonly
Used by German and Italian Antiquarian Booksellers and Auctioneers by
Bernard M. Rosenthal and Dictionary of Terms and Expressions Commonly Used
in the Antiquarian Booktrade in French, English, German, and Italian by
Edgar Franco - are posted in full for free on the ILAB website
(www.ilab.org). Useful for buyers and sellers, these books serve as great
references for individuals in the antiquarian book trade.

 

Bernard M. Rosenthal's A Dictionary of Abbreviations Commonly Used by German
and Italian Antiquarian Booksellers and Auctioneers is an excellent
reference for those readers who are not completely fluent in German and/or
Italian. This work is divided into two language sections, German and
Italian, with English translations. Each section contains a brief
description the language's use of abbreviations, followed by a list of
entries with the uses of the German or Italian word and its corresponding
English translation. In addition, each entry includes at least one example
in order to provide the context in which the abbreviations could be used.

 

Edgar Franco's Dictionary of Terms and Expressions Commonly Used in the
Antiquarian Booktrade in French, English, German, and Italian is an
easy-to-use dictionary that makes quick reference possible. In order to
compile a list of terms that are not found in the standard lingual
dictionaries, Franco researched the catalogues of fellow antiquarian
booksellers and existing dictionaries in addition to his own knowledge.
Approximately seven hundred entries are provided, each containing the
French, English, German, and Italian translation. This book also provides a
glossary of commonly used terms in all four languages. 

 

The International League of Antiquarian Booksellers is an organization that
federates twenty National Associations of Antiquarian Booksellers, and it
speaks for twenty national organizations, thirty countries, and
approximately 2000 of the world's leading booksellers. ILAB's website is
open to the public as well as its affiliates and offers a plethora of
information about the antiquarian book trade, such as upcoming book fairs
and exhibitions around the world, information about the league's cooperating
booksellers, and various resources for book collectors. These two new titles
are worthy additions to their collection of resources.
