Joseph Sabin
Portrait of J. Sabin by S. Hollyer, 19th century
Joseph Sabin (1821-1881) was a Braunston, England-born bibliographer and bookseller in Oxford, Philadelphia, and New York City.[1][2] He compiled the "stupendous" multivolume Dictionary of Books Relating to America, considered a "bibliophilic monument;"[3] and published the American Bibliopolist, a trade magazine.[4][5] His sons Robert T. Sabin and William W. Sabin also worked in the bookselling business.[6]
At the sale of the library of Edward Francis Rimbault in 1877, Sabin served as an agent for Joseph W. Drexel.[7]
