From LISWiki
The comparative and historical study of books as physical objects. Synonymous with analytical bibliography.
Critical or analytical bibliography is divided into three main types:
- Textual bibliography is the study of the relationship between the published text and the text as conceived by the author.
- Historical bibliography focuses on the history of books and of the people and institutions which produce them.
- Descriptive bibliography is the detailed physical description of books and other printed material.
