| Summary | "A History of Bibliographies of Bibliographies" by Archer Taylor is a historical account written in the mid-20th century. The book examines the development and significance of bibliographies that specifically catalog bibliographies across various eras, focusing particularly on major contributors to this field. It serves as an analytical overview of how bibliographic scholarship has evolved and highlights influential works that paved the way for contemporary bibliographic practices.
