OF  MULTIPLYING  COPIES  AND  EDITIONS 


Hov  many  copies  of  the  same  "book  should 
a  library  have?  The  answer  depends  on  function 
and  policy.  The  commercial  circulating  library 
in  Great  Britain  used  to  buy  virtually  whole 
editions  of  popular  novels  to  rent  out  to 
readers.  Eapid  obsolescence  would  be  the  rule 
here,  and  the  library  would  have  to  be  continually 
renewing  itself.  At  the  opposite  extreme  would  be 
the  collection  of  superlative  rarities  --  say  the 
fifteenth  century  books  in  the  Huntington  Library 
--  which  would  focus  on  one  copy  of  each  edition 
or  issue.  In  such  a  library  there  would  be  no  such 
thing  as  obsolescence,  and,  short  of  physical  destruc- 
tion, there  would  be  continuous  increase  in  value.  A 
curious  and  even  extravagant  kind  of  duplication  is  devel- 
oping in  some  collections  of  this  kind:  one  library,  for 
example,  has  been  buying  all  available  first  editions  of 
Milton,  in  search  of  typographical  variants.  This 
might  be  called  the  bibliographical  limit. 

The  middle  way  for  Fondren  would  seem  to  be 
to  undertake  only  in  a  limited  way  the  provision 
of  duplicate  copies  for  routine  course  work  (that 
is  the  mode  of  the  circulating  library),  and  on 
the  other  hand  not  to  play  for  rarity  as  such,  but 
to  see  that  the  representation  of  significant  works 
on  our  shelves  should  be  bibliographically  com- 
prehensive. 

This  overlaps  with  the  discussion  of 
the  uses  of  first  editions  in  a  recent  issue 


8, 


of  the  FLYLEAF,  but  it  extends  the  principle 
and  gives  it  a  somevhat  different  application. 
The  first  edition  may  be  conceived  of  as  the 
first  of  a  series  of  "states"  of  the  work,  many 
of  which  it  might  be  useful  or  important  for 
the  student  to  have .  We  should  not  aim  at  a 
collection  of  all  the  editions  of  The  Vicar  of 
Wakefield  or  The  Compleat  Angler ,  though  some 
have  enjoyed  making  such  a  collection.  But 
duplication  or  multiplication  in  the  sense  of 
having  various  or  numerous  editions  is  desirable. 
Editions  controlled  by  the  author  during  his 
lifetime  are  essential  —  not  just  the  first  and 
the  last  of  such  editions .  In  his  talk  to  the 
Friends,  Willard  Thorp  cited  Whitman's  Leaves 
of  Grass  as  a  striking  example  of  an  important 
work  with  major  textual  changes  from  edition  to 
edition.  After  the  author  signs  off,  our 
theoretical  series  of  editions  may  still  be  of 
great  value  as  showing  what  the  publishers  and 
editors  have  done. 

In  constructing  such  a  series  gifts 
from  private  libraries  are  appropriate  and 
helpful.  Apparent  duplication  may  not  be 
real  duplication;  an  unconsidered  and  obscure 
edition  may  fill  a  gap,  or  two  copies  that  appear 
superficially  to  be  identical  may  disclose 
important  variants.  And  apart  from  biblio- 
graphical points,  a  series  of  well  selected  and 
representative  editions  covering  a  considerable 
period  of  time  and  varying  in  format  and  makeup 
will  help  to  give  the  student  historical  pers- 
pective.
