I've just received this announcement from Oak Knoll:

Oak Knoll Press and the British Library have given permission to the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers (ILAB) to make available for non-commercial use a digital copy of their latest edition of the classic book ABC for Book Collectors by John Carter as revised by Nicolas Barker.

The link is here.

This describes ABC for Book Collectors:

Here is where you can download a free PDF with permission from the publisher:

It is an excellent resource for bookselling and collecting terminology so that you can better understand descriptions and make more accurate communication with fellow bibliophiles.

Having a printed copy is also good.
