From the blurb: "Generally acknowledged to be the world's foremost rare book dealer as well as a notable bibliophile and collector, Mr. Kraus has now written his long-awaited memoirs - an anecdotal and informative book of interest to everyone who loves, buys, sells or studies old and rare books and manuscripts. From the Introduction by Herman W. Liebert, the following is an excerpt that conveys some of the quality, purpose, and character of the book: "These memoirs tell the most extraordinary story of dealing in rare books and manuscripts that I have ever read. Extraordinary stories are not uncommon in the world of books: the tales of Sir Thomas Phillipps and his collections or of the Boswell papers would be branded outrageous fiction if they were not fully documented as fact. The following narrative of the life of my friend Hans P. Kraus is no less incredible, and no less true.
