| 520 | _a"How to Form a Library, 2nd ed." by Henry B. Wheatley is a guidebook on library formation likely written in the late 19th century. The work addresses practical methods for constructing both public and private libraries, catering to the needs of book lovers and librarians alike. Wheatley provides insight into the historical development of libraries and offers advice on book selection, organization, and management, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in library science or personal collecting. At the start of the book, the author emphasizes the need for a comprehensive guide on how to form a library, acknowledging previous works while noting their limitations based on outdated references. In the introduction, Wheatley reflects on historical figures who were notable book collectors, such as Richard de Bury and Petrarch, illustrating how the challenges faced in the past make modern collection easier. He outlines the chapters to follow, which will explore various aspects such as buying books, establishing public and private libraries, creating bibliographies, and selecting books that suit library needs. This opening context sets the stage for readers to understand both the importance and the intricacies of curating a library that serves personal and community interests.
