Adam Weinberger Rare Books does appraisals of rare book in 30 seconds or less. These shorts are intended for those TH-camrs that cannot sit through his longer (and occasionally too drawn-out :) videos on Rare Books. Now, of course, to properly appraise books you need to spend more than 30 seconds, collate them (count pages and plates), check references, and give them the historical consideration they deserve. BUT when you are going through large libraries, racing around a book fair, rapidly scrolling through internet auctions looking for potential bargains, you need to be able to evaluate books quickly. Perhaps these 30 second TH-cam Shorts (I will try to make a series of them) will highlight some fun books and hone your rare bookseller instincts.

Lithographs are mounted on heavy linen backing with similar linen tabs. Black cloth over boards in an envelop style portfolio, with metal lock.

The 12 plates are: [1] The Body, with 11 sections; [2] The Head, 6 sections; [3] The Eye, 6 sections and The Ear, 4 sections; [4] The Skeleton; [5] Muscles, Veins, Arteries and Nerves; [6] Diagram of Nervous System; [7] Blood Formation, Absorption, and Circulation; [8] Sections of Upper and Lower Extremities, 6 sections each; [9] Male Genital Organs, 4 sections; [10] Foetal Organization; [11] Sectional View of Female; [12] Female Pelvic Organs, 11 sections.
