The first volume of ten, published over the course of 75 years (1925-2000). Winchell, AA169: "As far as published, the most comprehensive record of incunabula yet made, based on information collected during more than twenty years' work by the Kommission. The sections issued record nearly half again as many editions as Hain, and the information given for each is much fuller, including: (1) author entry, title, date, etc.; (2) collation, types, capitals, and illustrations; (3) transcripts of title, colophon, and other extracts; (4) references to descriptions in Hain and other bibliographies; and (5) location of copies, which includes a complete record of all copies if not more than 10 are known and, for commoner books, a selection of copies in representative libraries in different countries, both European and American. Indispensable in both cataloguing and references work in the scholarly library." Item #37874
