Issued by Scolar Press, a publisher highly regarded for its authoritative scholarly bibliographies, this weighty tome stands as the definitive bibliographical reference for the Victorian nature writer Richard Jefferies.

Such comprehensive, single-subject bibliographies from the early 1990s were often printed in relatively small print runs primarily aimed at institutional libraries and dedicated specialists, rendering true first editions scarce on the open market today, particularly in this unblemished state.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003eThe result of over twenty years of dedicated collecting and exhaustive research, George Miller and Hugoe Matthews's \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"6\" data-index-in-node=\"123\"\u003eRichard Jefferies: A bibliographical study\u003c\/i\u003e is an indispensable resource for scholars, collectors, and enthusiasts of the great Victorian nature writer.
