A Superb Bibliography, Profusely Illustrated in Color
With his second comprehensive bibliography, Dr. Sternick follows up his 2003 release of "A Bibliography of 19th Century Children's Series Books" with this superb new work.With a thorough attention to detail, Sternick unveils new insight into the publishing history of the Henry Altemus Co. and unravels the thousands of books and myriad of formats and issues into a clear, concise and effective reference.

Provided with an extensive array of indexes to work from and hundreds of color pictures to refer to, the collector is sure to find the information they need with ease.Anyone who has experienced Sternick's bibliographic prowess in his first work will be even more impressed with this endeavor.

Those who may have considered themselves well versed in the Altemus publishing history and output will walk away from this book with a new-found humbleness at just how much wisdom they have discovered from this sage among bibliographers.To top it off, readers will find pages upon pages of beautiful color images -- this, of course, is just icing on the cake!

Once again Cary Sternick has raised the bar to an even higher standard of excellence. ... Read more
