	Book collecting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Book collecting is the bringing together of books which in their contents, their form or the history of the individual copy possess some element of permanent interest, and either actually or prospectively are rare, in the sense of being difficult to procure.
		In 1676 book auctions were introduced into England from Holland, and soon we can trace in priced catalogues the beginning of a taste for Caxtons, and the books prized by collectors slowly fought their way up from amid the heavy volumes of theology by which they were at first overwhelmed.
		In 1819 the Duke of Marlborough's books were sold, and the Boccaccio for which he had paid £2260 went to Earl Spencer (1758-1834) for £750, to pass with the rest of his rare books to the widow of John Rylands in 1892, and by her gift to the John Rylands Library at Manchester in 1899.
