n c u n m here . The i l sio s are al ost entirely biblio confined to graphic rather than literary , that is , terms used in the d escription of books rather than in the titles proper . The chief exception is the inclusion of a partia l list of honorary titles likely to be met M m n in author entries . any ter s have been i cluded which are almost certain to be supe rfl uo us for the d expert bibliographer but , as the expert sel om ought
