This catalogue has a brief description of each collection of books. The single folded sheet of hand made paper was used to whet librarians' initial interest. There was also a separate detailed catalogue for each one of the 28 groups listed.
The Catalogue of Collections itself is a work of art. It was designed and beautifully hand printed by Ron Gordon.
