Notes:  Richard Gough was a collector of books, papers, prints, coins and medals. An antiquary and topographer he was obliged to assemble for himself the materials which he needed for his work because libraries made no provision in this field.  Gough's collection of book prospectuses is unique because it relates to a single subject when it was at the height of its popularity and for the period after about 1780, is comprehensive.
Microfiche editions of book prospectuses held in Bodleian Library, Oxford.

The collection can be accessed by means of either a printed catalogue or indexes on the last fiche of the set.  It is indexed by, authors, editors, translators, illustrators and titles, names of members of the book trade or topography, reflecting the contents of the Gough Collection.
