Unpunctuated title pages and bibliographic quirks discussed
The piece complains about modern bookmaking and publication practices such as unpunctuated title pages inconsistent dating and missing folio marks. It notes people use titles instead of given names and cites Harper’s Magazine changes and cataloguing obstacles. A second anecdote about a Philadelphia pony and a veterinary miscue adds humor.
