Resourses for Collecting John Dent's Everyman's Collection

Collecting John Dent and Ernest Rhys’ original 1000+ Everyman’s Library editions is not my bailiwick, but I feel I would be absolutely remiss not to touch briefly, respectfully, and honorably on the topic at a bare minimum. 

A huge debt of gratitude is owed and due to Dent and Rhys for their vision and goal of Everyman’s Library: putting together a collection of the world’s finest literature that would appeal “to every kind of reader: the worker, the student, the cultured man, the child, the man and the woman” is beyond admirable and commendable.

So, again, my collection – and this website – is 100% dedicated to the present-day Everyman’s Library collection of over 650 + books and growing.  But there are over a 1000 + books in Dent and Rhys’ original collection, spanning the first half of the 20th Century before then spending another two or three decades petering out – until Mr. Campbell’s arrival on the scene in 1990 with the moderns that are, again, discussed and listed in detail on this website.

John Dent & Ernest Rhys, what stunning vision you had and a lasting legacy you both left.
