Eighth edition, completely revised and re-set, with additional information and an<br />
Introduction by Nicolas Barker. John Carter's ABC For <strong>Book</strong> Collectors has long<br />
been established as the most enjoyable as well as the most informative reference<br />
book on the subject. Here, in over 490 alphabetical entries, ranging in length from<br />
a single line to several pages, may be found definition and analysis of the<br />
technical terms used in book collecting and bibliography, interspersed with<br />
salutary comments on such subjects as auctions, condition, facsimiles and fakes,<br />
'points', rarity, etc. This eighth edition has been revised by Nicolas Barker, editor<br />
of The <strong>Book</strong> Collector and incorporates additional words created by the introduction<br />
of web-based collecting. ABC for <strong>Book</strong> Collectors retains its humorous<br />

pages. ISBN 9781884718410. $49.95 $37.46<br />
Reprint of the first edition of 1997. For the first time, Jane Greenfield has provided a unique glossary of terms,<br />
styles, structures, and names related to conservation and bookbinding through the ages illustrated with over 700<br />
line drawings. Locating accurate descriptions of bookbindings from various periods has previously been<br />
frustrating for those who work with rare and antiquarian books, especially conservators, librarians, book collectors<br />
and antiquarian book specialists. However, this frustration will abate as Greenfield's work takes place alongside<br />
John Carter's ABC For <strong>Book</strong> Collectors as well as Don Etherington's and Matt T. Roberts' <strong>Book</strong>binding and Conservation<br />
of <strong>Book</strong>s. Ms. Greenfield, a master in the field of bookbinding and conservation, examines the book's development<br />
from the earliest periods and in different places. She has provided names and drawings for almost every<br />
conceivable part of the book as well as a multitude of styles, bindings, and decorations. She literally takes apart the<br />
structure of the book and illustrates the many and varied facets and definitions that clearly outline the historical<br />
development of the book's structures and styles. [Order No. 49915]<br />

Afro-Americana: 1553 - 1906, itemizing over 13,000 printed works and nearly 5,000 manuscript entries.<br />
Afro-Americana helped identify the two libraries as major resources for African American studies, helping to<br />
solidify African-American history in academic and popular culture. This expanded, second edition by <strong>Oak</strong> <strong>Knoll</strong><br />
Press, to include upwards of 2,500 additions since the catalogue's 1973 publication, preserves and extends the<br />

Library Company, 2007, 4to., hardcover. xiv, 160 pages. ISBN 0979272009. $50.00 $37.50<br />
The Alexandria Library Company describes a rare American library in Virginia and the booklovers associated with<br />
it through two centuries. Historian William Seale presents the story—through good times and bad—of this historic<br />
library company, which has been in business since 1794. Sponsored by the Company, the book is documented<br />
from the shelves and boxes of early manuscripts that chronicle the history of the organization. Old leather volumes<br />
preserve the minutes from the founding to the present, while volumes of library records reveal what books were<br />
checked out and by whom, as well as the names of those who were charged late fees. This handsomely designed<br />
book is a book collector's delight, borrowing its special appearance from the mellow old books in the collection.<br />
The Alexandria Library Company consists of a narrative history, a bibliography of the historic books and a list of<br />
members through two centuries. It contains over 50 color illustrations, including historic portraits and images of<br />
many of the early books. Distributed by <strong>Oak</strong> <strong>Knoll</strong> for the Alexandria Library Company. [Order No. 93893]<br />

Crumpled, Perforated; Fragmented; Layered; Sculpted; Sewn and Woven. Illustrations are in black and white and<br />

Garden, 2009, 8 x 10 inches, stiff paper wrappers. 140<br />
pages. ISBN 9781584562160. $49.95 $37.46<br />
Second edition with corrections, new prefaces, a redesigned flow chart,<br />
and updates to the original text based on new information that has come<br />
to light over the past decade. The authors provide detailed methods for<br />
identifying architectural photoreproductions based on examination. The<br />
manual discusses twelve distinct processes and offers additional<br />
information on several other methods commonly used in North<br />
American architectural practice from 1860 to approximately 1960. One<br />
of the manual's important features is the flowchart, an outline using a<br />
series of questions leading the reader to a preliminary identification.<br />
Each process is described in a separate chapter with numerous color<br />
illustrations of general and magnified views of select photoreproductions.<br />
Each chapter includes sections on how to identify a print, trade names and synonyms, the history<br />
and use of the printing process, how a print was manufactured, and degradation and storage considerations. Each<br />
of the 54 illustrations, critical for identifying a document's state of condition and extent of damage, have been<br />
carefully photographed and checked to ensure correct color representation. Appendices give information on<br />
storage and handling, exhibition and current methods of reproduction of architectural prints and drawings.<br />

When Gordon Ray delivered the Lyell Lectures at Oxford in 1985, he chose as his subject the Art Deco book<br />
illustrations and bindings produced in France in the 1920s. He accompanied his lectures with 183 slides, the<br />
majority of them in color, and those illustrations are in fact the reason that the lectures have not been published<br />
until now: the expense of producing so many illustrations was too daunting for the publishers that Ray<br />
approached. Today a happy solution to this problem is available in the form of digital presentation on the internet,<br />
and Ray's work is now being offered in a combination of printed and electronic forms. The verbal text of his<br />
lectures is letterpress printed in this present volume (supplemented by eight plates, showing striking examples of<br />
the work of the major figures discussed), and all of the available illustrations are being published on the website of<br />
the Bibliographical Society of the University of Virginia, at http://etext.virginia.edu/bsuva/artdeco. [Order No.<br />

The child as the audience for books in the English language is the subject of this bibliographical study, which had<br />
its origins in an exhibition held at the Pierpont Morgan Library in New York. In conducting their survey, which is<br />
centered upon the books themselves, mostly drawn from the holdings of the Morgan Library, the authors not only<br />
plot the chronological development of children's book publishing from almost random beginnings to the diversity<br />
of the early Victorian period, they also show how publishers adapted their trade methods to exploit this new<br />
market. Co-published with the Pierpont Morgan Library, The Bibliographical Society of America, and The British<br />

According to the Preface, for a hundred years or more, the bibliographical scholars of the world have sought to<br />
identify the man of genius who, in the mid-fifteenth century, changed the course of civilization by introducing the<br />
art of printing into the Western World. Our knowledge of Gutenberg and his claim rests upon two factors: a series<br />
9<br />
orders@oakknoll.com www.oakknoll.com 800-996-2556
10<br />
of documents in manuscript that range from 1420 to the settling of his estate in 1468. These, however, fail to give<br />
conclusive support to his claim as the inventor of printing, although presenting, in the early records, an occasional<br />
and vague reference to printing, paper, ink, a press, and "four pieces" which Theodore Low DeVinne, Dr. Otto W.<br />
Fuhrmann and others have identified as the parts of a type-casting mould. The second factor consists of tributes to<br />
Gutenberg by his contemporaries and their successors, which specifically name him as the inventor of printing in<br />
statements which appeared in printed books issued during the years 1470-1499. Stillwell's work contains a<br />
bibliography of 215 of the first printed documents described as "<strong>Book</strong>s and Broadsides 1450-1470," along with<br />
supplementary sections and notes on the Gutenberg documents. [Order No. 34594]<br />

Benjamin Franklin, Writer and Printer begins by focusing on Franklin's career as a printer, from his apprenticeship to<br />
his retirement in 1748, by which time he had created the largest printing business in colonial America. Much of<br />
what we know about Franklin as a writer and printer comes from his autobiography, the focus of the last part of<br />
this book. Left unfinished at his death in 1790, the autobiography was known to the world for nearly eighty years<br />
only in translations, fragments, paraphrases, and, in English, from retranslations of a 1791 French translation. The<br />
posthumous publishing histories of the autobiography and of The Way to Wealth illuminate the transformation of<br />
Benjamin Franklin from a youthful printer into the most famous American writer of the eighteenth century.<br />

full. Officially authorized by the Oxford University Press and Oxford Bibliographical Society, this volume is the<br />

First edition in English (from the 2004 German edition). The Cranach Press, though located in Germany, was<br />
inspired by and became an integral product of the English private press movement. Following advice from Emery<br />
Walker, new typefaces were drawn by Edward Johnston and cut by Edward Prince and George Friend; then Harry<br />
Gage-Cole was called in as pressman to print the wood-engravings of Gordon Craig, Eric Gill, and Aristide<br />
Maillol. Their work is recorded in this lavishly illustrated book. The <strong>Book</strong> as a Work of Art includes Essays by John<br />

Second Temple period, and deals with all the periods following it. The shapes of the letters and their development<br />
are documented, described and analyzed. The survey also includes various scripts. Well-illustrated with the<br />

Succeeding his father, G. D. Hobson, the great historian of bookbinding, as head of Sotheby's book department, he<br />
ran it for some twenty years with equal commercial skill and scholarly learning. Since then, he has established an<br />

subjects in Renaissance Italy. On the occasion of his seventieth birthday, a group of his friends decided to honor his<br />
achievements with a collection of essays. Twelve contributors have provided essays on bookbinding and the<br />
history of books. The subjects range from great collectors, like Grolier, Mahieu, and Anne de Montmorency, to<br />
bookbinding techniques and the book trade. In geographical scope there are essays on Ethiopic bookbinding, the<br />

Forty years before the turn of the 18th century, a small, prestigious bookplate workshop was established, the likes<br />
of which were never to be seen again after its employment of one man: Thomas Bewick. To this day, the works of<br />
the bookplate shop of Beilby & Bewick are highly collectible and valued in the antiques world. This account offers<br />
several hundred bookplates engraved on copper and wood, executed and printed in the workshop over a period of<br />
89 years. It is quite the most extensive and thorough study of this subject in its use of primary sources. The author's<br />
lively enthusiasm and careful scholarship have combined to produce a valuable and truly pioneering work on a<br />
subject clouded by speculation and optimistic attribution until now. Nigel Tattersfield has taken full advantage of<br />
the recently-opened archives of Beilby & Bewick to reveal a vast range of work, from banknotes and inscriptions in<br />
silver, to the making of type punches and bottle moulds. The workshop's surviving records are unique in their<br />
diversity and quantity. In recent years, the records have been used in the study of engraved silver, pottery<br />
transfers, and the preparatory studies for Bewick's wood engravings. <strong>Book</strong>plates is fully illustrated, with over 300<br />
examples, and its wealth of biographical information on the owners of the bookplates represents an important<br />
contribution to the social history of the north of England. [Order No. 54988]<br />

advertisements in England and Ireland during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, and the dramatic impact of<br />
online marketing on the book trade. Other promotional tools discussed here range from the illustrated trade cards<br />
of eighteenth-century Paris to the rise of the book jacket and the cult of literary prizes in the twentieth century.<br />

First edition. In 1784, John Dickinson presented books selected from the library of his father-in-law, Isaac Norris, to<br />
Dickinson College. These books, which became the foundation of the College's library, represent a substantial<br />
portion of Isaac Norris's own collection. This gift, a collection of 1,902 titles and 1,705 volumes, contains a small<br />
number of theological works in English, and classic works in Latin, French, Greek, German, Italian, and Dutch.<br />
Eight of the titles include those by Aristotle, eight by Cicero, copies of Euripides, Virgil, Terence, Tacitus, and<br />
Suetonius, Ovid's Amatoria, Thucydides in a French edition, but no Horace. The gift also contained innumerable<br />
works on Socianism, Jansenism, quietism, and other religious movements. There is also a rich body of 17th-century<br />
material as well as medical and scientific works. There is no contemporary list of John Dickinson's gift of 1784 nor<br />
is there any known catalogue of Norris's entire collection. Illustrated with six plates. Printed by the Stinehour<br />

2007. Most of the papers from this conference are included here, in suitably expanded form, providing a survey of<br />
the high points of Venetian printing from the fifteenth century through the twenty-first. Case studies focus on<br />
outstanding individuals like Aldus Manutius, Erhard Ratdolt, Peter Ugelheimer, Antonio Moretto, Francesco<br />
Sansovino, Claudio Merulo, and Apostolo Zeno. The <strong>Book</strong>s of Venice contains an essay on "Watermark" by Koch,<br />

First Edition. An expanded version of two of the author's previous publications, this bibliography covers a broad<br />
range of books on art in early America, including not only art treatises and instruction manuals but all books<br />
related to drawing, painting, engraving, sculpture, artist biography and the history of art. The bibliography covers<br />
art books up to 1815, the year that Thomas Jefferson sold his extensive book collection to the U.S. government to<br />
form a new Library of Congress. One hundred and eighty-three titles are included in the checklist, each with basic<br />
bibliographic information, followed by full catalogue references of the booksellers and/or libraries that listed the<br />
book. The checklist is followed by five appendices, listing the books by date of first catalogue reference, by the<br />
order of number of catalogue references, by library and bookseller in order of earliest reference and in order of<br />
collection size, and by the eighteenth-century American artist who read them. The books are also indexed by<br />
checklist number. [Order No. 94205]<br />

concerning authorship, book production and book distribution in eighteenth-century London. They are among the<br />
few surviving from this period and for London, the center of the British book trade. More than 5,000 works by<br />
some 1,000 authors were commissioned by some 500 customers, including booksellers, institutions and private<br />
gentlemen, and were produced by several hundreds of workmen. Copies were delivered to more than 1,500<br />
persons, members of the trade or representatives of the reading public at large. The ledgers record what happened<br />
to the text as it moved through the printing house, noting paper, types, format, corrections, number printed and<br />
the like. This edition of the Bowyer ledgers presents the records themselves in photo-facsimile on microfiche,<br />
accompanied by a volume of editorial material. The microfiches reproduce the four surviving ledgers and<br />
associated papers, prefixed with detailed descriptions of the originals. Distributed for The Bibliographical Society<br />

First edition. Published shortly before the 250th anniversary of the birth of Robert Burns in 2009, this bibliography<br />
presents the unparalleled Burnsiana collection held by the Library of the Supreme Council of the Ancient &<br />
Accepted Scottish Rite, Southern Jurisdiction, USA, the most complete collection of Burnsiana in the United States.<br />
Because of the paucity of bibliographic literature illuminating Burns' involvement in Freemasonry, the work<br />
contains a biographic sketch entitled "Robert Burns-Freemason" written by Robert L.D. Cooper. From a historical,<br />
bibliographical, informational and aesthetic perspective, the Burnsiana catalogue has no analog among currently<br />
existing bibliographies. The catalogue is illustrated by the engravings of several generations of artists that provide<br />
an image of the Bard of Caledonia and the scenes of Scotland that he loved, and which inspired his creativity. This<br />
bibliography is a distinguished gift from the Fraternity of Freemasons in honor of the 250th anniversary of the<br />
birth of this distinguished Scottish poet and Mason, Robert Burns. [Order No. 96673]<br />

jacket. 544 pages. ISBN 9781584562634. $95.00 $71.25<br />
The Junius Spencer Morgan collection at Princeton University consists of<br />
over 700 titles (totaling around 900 volumes) of editions of the Roman<br />
poet Virgil (70-19 BC), in Latin and in various vernacular languages.<br />
Technically the collection includes items ranging from the first printed<br />
edition (Rome, 1469) to the present, but the focus is strongly on material<br />
published in the early modern period. Given Virgil's central place in<br />
western education during the early centuries of printing, the catalogue of<br />
the Morgan collection should be of interest to art historians, cultural<br />
historians, and historians of education as well as classicists and specialists<br />

Caxton Club historian, Frank J. Piehl, offers a taste of the artistic, intellectual and literary atmosphere of Chicago<br />
from which the Caxton Club merged. According to Piehl, early bibliophiles concerned themselves not only with a<br />
book's contents, but also with the physical aspects of a book. In its 100 years, the Club has published 60 books that<br />
are distinguished by their content and design. Nineteen are important historical works, sixteen describe the history<br />
of printing and bookbindings, seven relate to bibliophiles and book collecting, and the remaining eighteen<br />
comprise a miscellany of poetry, literary works, plays, an opera and other items. Anyone who is interested in the<br />
history of book collecting, printing and bookbinding will enjoy this work. <strong>Design</strong>ed by Bruce Beck and printed by<br />
R.R. Donnelley & Sons, the Caxton Club publishes this history of the Club that includes an up-to-date bibliography<br />
of the Club's publications, as well as biographies of Caxtonians who have contributed prominently to the<br />
advancement of the book and the club. Limited to 1,000 numbered and signed copies of which 900 are offered for<br />

pages. ISBN 9781875567546. $49.95 $37.46<br />
First edition. This book traces the genesis of the Barrington books in rich and evocative detail, offering a<br />
compelling account of publishing history in England and on the continent, and displaying the subtle machinations<br />
of the book trade in a world without copyright laws. Throughout, The Celebrated George Barrington combines the<br />
rigour of book history and bibliographical research with a fresh and engaging style. Of special interest is Garvey's<br />
authoritative bibliography of the Barrington books, with extensive notes and detailed collation details, destined to<br />
become a standard reference for librarians, scholars and booksellers. With more than eighty separate works<br />
noticed, this is the first comprehensive account of the Barrington books and the first to chart the publishing history<br />
of the works about and attributed to George Barrington, which have long remained a source of confusion for<br />
students of early Australian history. Elegantly printed in two colours, the work includes some twenty-six<br />

printed abroad as well as in the British Isles. However, it may be lesser known that many works of British writers<br />
were printed abroad without being printed in the British Isles. Shaaber thus explains this book as a compilation<br />
which describes the many editions of continental printings of works that have survived in only a few copies in<br />
scattered libraries. This work is an appropriate complement to such volumes as the Short-Title Catalogue and<br />
should facilitate various kinds of study of British culture up to the middle of the 17th century. [Order No. 20582]<br />

First edition. The newspaper carrier's address, a printed holiday greeting, was a unique early American poetic<br />
form. Each New Year's Day, newspaper carriers around America and Canada distributed printed verses to their<br />
customers in hope of a hefty tip. Often highly amusing and occasionally quite socially aware, these broadsides<br />
eulogized the dutiful carrier of the year gone by. For the first time, these addresses have been compiled in<br />
bibliographic form. Some of America's most prominent men of letters, such as Benjamin Franklin and Daniel<br />
Webster, supplied the poetic addresses. 940 American and 61 Canadian addresses are indexed. [Order No. 59170]<br />

According to the Introduction, this book attempts to record over 1,400 of the publications, almost all with<br />
exceptions noted, of New London printers from May 1, 1709 through the year 1800. The output of the several<br />
presses was surprisingly large because all the printing done between the spring of 1709 and the autumn of 1754 in<br />
the Colony of Connecticut was done in New London. Johnson also includes twenty-three British Royal<br />
coats-of-arms used on New London printings of colony laws from 1709 to 1775. The appendices include sections<br />
on the Rogerenes, newspapers published in New London in the 18th century, election sermons printed in New<br />
London, and New London printers and booksellers. [Order No. 44037]<br />

Reprinted from the Proceedings of the American Antiquarian Society, Volume 106, Part I. Nissenbaum's essay<br />
traces how Puritans tried to keep Christmas out of New England and how the holiday still managed to return.<br />
Christmas entered first into the margins of New England culture, and then, by the latter half of the<br />
eighteenth-century, into its very mainstream. The struggle over this holiday was waged with the weapon of the<br />
printing press, and most especially in the region's almanacs, its hymnals, and its children's literature. These may<br />
have been the three most widely-read genres of all in New England - the very places where official and unofficial<br />
culture were mostly intertwined. The reappearance of older popular traditions of wassailing and begging in<br />
printed form suggests both a continuity with older rituals and a transformation of those rituals by respectable,<br />
even "official" culture. [Order No. 47111]<br />

First edition. David Hume, well-known as a philosopher and historian, was also an avid reader and collector of<br />
books. Unfortunately, no catalogue of his library survives. The Nortons have traced the path of Hume's books to<br />
his brother and sister, then to his nephew, David Hume the Younger (later Baron Hume), and, finally, to Thomas<br />
Stevenson, an Edinburgh bookseller. Working from manuscript sources, including an 1840 catalogue of Baron<br />
Hume's library, as well as letters to Hume, the authors identify several hundred titles that belonged, or probably<br />
belonged, to Hume. Included among these are corrected copies of Hume's own works; a wide range of items<br />
presented to him by such friends or acquaintances as Buffon, Burke, D'Alembert, Diderot, Gibbon, D'Holbach,<br />
Price, Priestly, Rousseau, Adam Smith, and Horace Walpole; and many now obscure works that may have helped<br />
to form the views of one of Britain's most important writers. [Order No. 55499]<br />

This is the first book to discuss ephemera as an aspect of design history,<br />
showing how function, production process and period have affected the<br />
changing appearance of billheads, trade cards, flyers, playbills and other<br />
ephemera. This book explores the closely interwoven printing histories of<br />
Britain and America. Richly illustrated with letterforms, engravings,<br />
drawings and the reproduction of over 200 items of ephemera, many in<br />

The history of the book trade in Medieval London before the age of print has long remained a matter of<br />
speculation. Few records survive that name the book artisans and entrepreneurs involved with this early trade<br />
venture or that document directly their methods of producing books and creating markets for them. In this<br />
directory, C. Paul Christianson assembles an extensive body of alternative data drawn from archival documents<br />
that identifies 262 participants in the London trade during a period of 200 years. This group includes stationers,<br />
manuscript artisans (called limners), textwriters, bookbinders, parchment sellers, and other London citizens active<br />
in book production and sale. This book provides a summary of information about the independent book craftsman<br />
working in London during this period. Four appendices contain indexes, and two maps, one modern and one from<br />
the sixteenth century, illustrate the historical area of the craft community around St. Paul's. Manuscripts and books<br />
cited are also listed. <strong>Design</strong>ed by Abe Lerner. Distributed for the Bibliographical Society of America. [Order No.<br />

First edition. Adam Smith's great work of political economy reached French readers through reprints of English<br />
editions; a number of translations directed towards different audiences; and a host of summaries, extracts and<br />
reviews in magazines and journals. Combining cultural history and bibliographical analysis, Carpenter traces the<br />
transmission of this text and assesses the implications of its paratext - occurring in reviews and advertisements,<br />
and in the front matter, footnotes, format, and typography of more than thirty monographs and periodicals. He<br />
provides full bibliographical descriptions necessary for identifying these works and understanding their<br />
interpretative agenda, as well as extensive quotations showing how translators, commentators, editors, and<br />
publishers mediated Adam Smith's ideas. An extensive introductory essay describes the textual transformation of<br />
the French editions and explains how French readers sought in them "a tool for creating a new society." With<br />

influence of these inventions on printing practices is emphasized, and their techniques are described in a clear,<br />
comprehensible manner. Church also invented many other devices and methods of manufacture, ranging from<br />
buttons to locomotives. With an introduction by Marcus McCorison from the American Antiquarian Society.<br />

This volume contains twenty-nine studies on the 18th-century London book trade, centering on the work of two of<br />
its leading members, printers William Bowyer, father and son. Twenty-seven pieces are reprinted from<br />
publications issued over a period of more than 40 years. The scope of the Ledgers, published in 1991, can be<br />
suggested by the 5,179 items of its "Checklist of Bowyer printing, 1710-1777" and the 136 double-column pages of<br />
its "Index of Names and Titles." The "Introductory Commentary" to The Bowyer Ledgers confronts the ledgers as a<br />
comprehensive record of 70 years of productivity and guides the reader through their complexity. This collection<br />
reprints articles published prior to the publication of The Bowyer Ledgers, as well as four since published. In<br />
addition, a "Supplement" to the "Bowyer Ornament Stock" of 1973 is included for the first time and presents 20<br />
printer's ornaments and initials used early in the career of the older Bowyer or at the very end of the son's life.<br />

158. Frohnsdorff, Gregory. EARLY PRINTING IN SAINT VINCENT: THE ISLAND'S FIRST<br />
PRINTERS AND THEIR WORK, WITH A LIST OF SAINT VINCENT IMPRINTS, 1767-1834.<br />
Foreword by Donald N. Mott. New Castle, Delaware: <strong>Oak</strong> <strong>Knoll</strong> Press, 2009, 8.5 x 11 inches, hardcover.<br />
120 pages. ISBN 9781584562580. $45.00 $33.75<br />
Although academic interest in the Caribbean region's history and culture has increased in recent years, past<br />
studies of West Indian printing history have failed to focus on Saint Vincent, resulting in sketchy and inaccurate<br />
information regarding printing on the island. Correcting that oversight, this book reveals that printing began in<br />
Kingstown as early as 1767, and it traces the island's printing history through 1834, the year slavery was abolished<br />
in the British West Indies. Few early Saint Vincent imprints are known to have survived, but Early Printing in Saint<br />
Vincent includes an annotated list of more than 250 items printed in Saint Vincent prior to 1835, thus helping to<br />
close a large gap that has existed in West Indian bibliography. The book concludes with examples of Saint Vincent<br />
advertisements and an index. Illustrated in black and white. [Order No. 100465]<br />

The opening words of Lincoln's Gettysburg Address are familiar to many, but the exact wording of the rest of his<br />
speech has been contested over the years. Soon after Lincoln spoke at Gettysburg on November 19, 1863, variations<br />
of what he said were printed in a number of publications. Generations of commentators have since puzzled over<br />
these, wanting to know which one is the most accurate. This short book continues that quest, first by cataloguing<br />
and annotating a sequence of key printings published in the six months after he spoke and by investigating their<br />
sources, with reference to the five surviving manuscripts of the Address in Lincoln's hand as well as other<br />
documents. John Carbonell concludes that not only is a certain printing the most accurate, as many have thought,<br />
but more controversially, that there is no compelling reason to believe that a single word in it is mistaken. [Order<br />

First edition. Edward Johnston (1872-1944) was a man of letters - master<br />
calligrapher, typeface designer and creator of the lettering and branding<br />
for the London Underground. He was also a great teacher and<br />
philosopher. Many were, and still are, influenced by his down-to-earth<br />
ideas on calligraphy and lettering, and those who studied in his classes at<br />
the Central School of Art and the Royal College of Art in London took his<br />
ideas and views into their own classes and to their own students. Great<br />
calligraphers and letterers of today throughout the world are still<br />
influenced by Edward Johnston's work. This detailed book by art and<br />
design historian Peter Holliday looks afresh at Johnston's work and legacy.<br />
It considers his friendships and his philosophy, the people he worked with<br />
and the influence he had on them and others. Co-published with The<br />

This book, limited to an edition of 300 copies, tells the story of Edward Seymour and his firm, The Fancy Paper<br />
Company. This British company manufactured marbled and other decorated (fancy) papers for the bookbinding<br />
and related industries from about 1919 to 1971. With eighteen illustrations showing their methods and copies of<br />
correspondence, and twenty tipped-in, original examples of their many fancy papers, this work is a<br />
well-researched text about one of the last English marbled paper manufacturing firms. Dr. Berger shares with his<br />
readers the vicissitudes of the company's fortunes, the personal lives of its owners, and the often touching<br />
correspondence he found among its business records. The author also informs us of the salaries, costs of doing<br />
business, and the unique demands of bookbinders for the company's products. The work ends with Edward<br />
Seymour's valiant efforts to keep the company afloat in the early 1970s. This edition is published in the best<br />
tradition of the fine press book. It was typeset in hot metal, hand printed on 120 gpm, archival paper, and bound in<br />

First edition. This work is a collection of well-written essays that demonstrates the change in direction the study of<br />
bookbinding has taken. Much of the work is based on observation of bookbinding techniques and materials, as<br />
well as a close study of decorative tools and the ways in which these were used to reflect the styles and fashions of<br />
their day. The place of the binder in the whole network of the book trade is also discussed against the wider<br />
cultural and political background in which books, as vehicles that carried ideas forward, are the visible, creditable<br />
and eloquent witnesses. Contributors to the book include Giles Barber, Carmen Blacker, Christian Coppens,<br />

An exhibition of 45 works by innovative French bookbinder de Gonet was held in New York from May 16 to June<br />
16, 1987. According to Jan van der Marck in the introduction, innovation is a radical attack on the continuity of<br />
thought and action that distinguishes culture and informs tradition. There are two ways in which to detect it: by<br />
deduction and induction. The former requires that we search for a break in an evolving stylistic configuration<br />
much as we would for a stoppage of leak in a pipeline. The latter proceeds by the intuitive recognition of a sea<br />
change, and the ability to pinpoint evidence from clues. At first blush, de Gonet's ingeniously crafted or<br />
industrially produced covers resemble the lid of a roll top box or the dash of a racing car. These unsubtle clues that<br />
somebody is playing hard and fast with the bookbinders tradition are the unchallengeable evidence of innovation.<br />

From the Frankfurt book fairs in the sixteenth century to the Farringdon Road barrows in the twentieth, fairs and<br />
markets have played a crucial role in the circulation of books. Traveling peddlers and itinerant printers have also<br />
acted as intermediaries in distributing books beyond the reach of conventional shops and in spreading trade<br />
practices. In this volume of the Publishing Pathways Series, leading book historians investigate the presence of the<br />
book trade in the streets and public spaces of Britain and continental Europe. The essays range across geographical<br />
as well as chronological frontiers to follow the movement of books, ideas and people. Contributors include John<br />
Flood, Clive Griffin, Michael Harris, Ian Maclean, John Morris, Jerome Salman and David Stoker. Co-published<br />

Paperback. 216 pages. ISBN 9781584562689. $59.95 $44.96<br />
The purpose of this book is to guide the reader through the<br />
sequence of operations involved in creating a book bound in<br />
leather, or a "fine binding." The author defines a fine binding as a<br />
book fully covered in leather, with leather-jointed endpapers, gilt<br />
edges, and leather doublures. Although a basic knowledge of<br />
bookbinding terms and techniques is assumed, this book is meant<br />
for both novice and experienced bookmakers. The book is intended<br />
to be used as an active guide during the process of fine binding. It<br />
is arranged into sixteen sections, listing the sequence of operations,<br />
beginning with preliminary work and ending with preparing and<br />
putting in leather doublures. Each section includes appropriately<br />
numbered instructions allowing the user to find his or her place in<br />
the sequence of operations with a reference for what step is next.<br />
There are also numbered explanatory sections that include a rationale (why you do it) and technique (how you do<br />
it). The work includes close to 300 black and white illustrations, four appendices, and a bibliography. Sales Rights:<br />

Ever since W. H. James Weale laid the foundations for the scholarly study of panel-stamped bindings in 1894, it<br />
has been universally assumed that the stamps were hand-engraved, and thus, that each panel was a unique<br />
1-4 books, 25% off 5-25 books, 40% off 26-49 books, 45% off 50+books, 50% off
artifact. However, Fogelmark discovered that virtually everything written since Weale's study has been based on a<br />
fundamental mistake. In Fogelmark's search for literature on blind panels, he had not been able to find a single<br />
item dealing with the all-important questions of production and technique. He now presents decisive evidence<br />
that panel stamps were cast in metal rather than hand engraved and were often produced in multiple copies for<br />
wide distribution. Identical stamps could be used concurrently in different shops, different cities and even<br />
different countries. Fogelmark's research is based on many years research in a large number of European libraries<br />
and a detailed study of various technical and artistic features of the panels. This is a distinguished and highly<br />
original contribution to bookbinding history, which greatly extends knowledge of the late medieval booktrade. An<br />

First edition in English. This monumental work chronicles the development of<br />
the library from 300 B.C. to 1600 A.D. Beginning with the clay-tablet libraries of<br />
the ancient Sumerian and Assyro-Babylonian empires, to those inspired by the<br />
Italian Renaissance, Staikos reveals the majesty of Western literature within<br />
these great depositories of human knowledge. Using over 400 illustrations [130<br />
in full color] the reader is treated to hundreds of beautifully photographed<br />
interiors of these legendary libraries and their rare treasures. Chapter by<br />
chapter, the stories of the fabled libraries of Alexandria, Greece and Rome<br />
unfold like an unbroken chain, connecting the wisdom of the ancients to the<br />
magnificent libraries of the European Renaissance. The author also shares with<br />

Jessie M. King (1875-1949) was the foremost Scottish book designer and illustrator of the 20th century. During the<br />
50 years of her career she designed and illustrated some 250 books, over 100 greeting cards, bookplates and<br />
assorted items of ephemera. A Guide to the Printed Work of Jessie M. King attempts to bring order to this enormous<br />
output. Every known item has been annotated, classified and catalogued, and a further section lists over 100<br />
publications containing reproductions of other works by the artist. An appendix by Dr. A.D. Portno discusses her<br />
work for the German publishers, Globus. A second appendix investigates her designs for Routledge's series of<br />
children's classics. In order to do justice to Jessie M. King's talent, besides the selection of items illustrated in the<br />
book, a substantial part of her work is illustrated in color on an accompanying CD-ROM. On the CD, every<br />
significant item is present, with each illustration numbered according to the corresponding entry in the text.<br />

Harold Pinter is one of the most prolific of living British authors, with a writing career so far of fifty-eight years.<br />
This bibliographical history provides a comprehensive account of the print-published writings and texts in other<br />
media, which he has wholly or partly authored, and will be a valuable resource for all who have a scholarly<br />
interest in modern British literature. Preeminently an oustanding playwright, a creator of texts in dramatic form<br />
for live theatre, radio, television or cinema, Pinter has also composed a significant body of poetry, some short<br />
stories, a novel, and a large number of non-fictional prose writings. Interviews, recorded in print and other media,<br />
interview-based articles and other texts are documented here, as are texts generated from Pinter's wide-ranging<br />
interest in literary projects, human rights and political causes, with forewords to books, short notes, jointly<br />
authored letters, signatures to petitions, declarations and other material. [Order No. 86929]<br />

Paperback edition. Third printing of the second, revised and corrected edition.<br />
The resurgence of interest in hand bookbinding has led to the publication of<br />
countless practical manuals on the subject. These manuals tend to provide an<br />
outline of the basic bookbinding techniques but do little to provide detailed<br />
information on specific aspects of the craft. A topic which is often overlooked is<br />
how to create headbands - those decorative bands of silk or cotton which can be<br />
found fastened inside the top (and sometimes also the bottom) of the spine of a<br />
book. Now, at last, two experienced hand bookbinders have produced an easy to<br />
use, step-by-step guide showing how to create fourteen different styles of<br />
headbands. Separate chapters are devoted to each headband with all the<br />
necessary materials and equipment listed at the beginning. Each step is clearly<br />
illustrated by an accompanying diagram, and all the instructions have been tried<br />
out on students of the craft and perfected at the bench so that the easiest and<br />
simplest method is presented. Written for both beginners and experienced binders<br />
alike, Headbands has established itself as one of the classic manuals for the hand<br />
bookbinder. [Order No. 43018]<br />

consulting an original manuscript. The author has gone to considerable<br />
lengths to obtain photographs that are well-focused and lit so that the tactile<br />
qualities of surfaces, ink tone, and flow are revealed. He has chosen<br />
examples of formal writing that show a coherent and consistent relationship<br />
between methods of tool use and letter formation, making the construction<br />
of a script much easier to grasp in practice. He has also made the effort of<br />
selecting writing without idiosyncrasies of style. [Order No. 52752]<br />

In the late nineteenth century, wood-engraving was the principle medium of illustration employed by publishers.<br />
From this beginning, print collector Bill Brandt goes on to recount the story of the Society of American<br />
Wood-Engravers. He reveals the medium's intricacies, the controversies sparked between traditional<br />
wood-engravers and America's New School, and the international acclaim rightly bestowed on these innovative<br />
American artists. The lost art of interpretive wood-engraving comes to life in Brandt's detailed account. The fifty<br />
prints reproduced on these pages, scanned from Brandt's extensive collection with most produced at full size,<br />
highlight the astonishing skill and painstaking craftsmanship required of a wood-engraving artist of the golden<br />
age. Brandt tells how the Society of American Wood-Engravers burned brightly for almost twenty years, and then<br />
faded away in the early days of photoreproductions. [Order No. 102011]<br />

poems on the death of Thomas More that appeared in 1536 shortly after he died. The incentive to carry out the<br />
research was the discovery of an unknown manuscript of Secundus' collected poems in the Bodleian Library,<br />

First edition. Initially influenced by David Wilkie, William Hogarth and Benjamin West, John Lewis Krimmel was<br />
a German immigrant who worked in Philadelphia between 1809 and 1821. Harding traces the development of the<br />
artist, who was America's first genre painter, through his sketchbook images and oil paintings. Seven sketchbooks,<br />
now in the Winterthur Library, contain about 700 separate drawings and are the key to reconstructing his<br />
conceptual processes. They show clear distinctions in subject matter and drawing style commensurate with the<br />
stylistic development evident in his paintings. Harding places genre art in an international context by discussing<br />
Krimmel's work in terms of larger stylistic trends and defines his use of democratic and moralizing themes within<br />
the political and social changes affecting Philadelphia and the Continent. With 113 color plates and 246<br />

First edition. Sanford authored 24 books, including novels, creative interpretations of history and several volumes<br />
of memoir and autobiography. His monumental five-volume autobiography was titled Scenes from the Life of an<br />
American Jew. Both Sanford and screenwriter Marguerite Roberts, his wife for over 50 years, were blacklisted<br />
during the McCarthy era in the 1950s. Just before Sanford's death in 2003, the Los Angeles Times called him "an<br />
authentic hero of American letters." Sanford's career as a writer was star-crossed. His first ten books were issued<br />
by ten different publishers. Sanford quarreled with editors and alienated people throughout the publishing<br />
industry. Each of his books represents the culmination of a struggle. Thus, for Sanford, perhaps more so than most<br />
writers, there is a story that goes with each book. This bibliography recounts those travails to chart Sanford's<br />
development into the unique writer he became. Annotations address style and content of the works described, as<br />
well as the often winding road these works took toward publication. There are three appendices, including indices<br />
of historical pieces and of his family members and acquaintances. [Order No. 94202]<br />

This comprehensive new work not only provides bibliographical details lacking from previous studies, but it<br />
describes Dodgson's letters, articles, games, mathematical problems, and stories in such a way that the scholar<br />
without access to these rare items will gain an understanding of where Dodgson stood on various subjects and the<br />
nature of his relationship with the public via the press. Previously unknown, Dodgson items are brought to light in<br />
this listing, and numerous early reprints are recorded for the first time. Dodgson's word puzzles "Doublets" and<br />
"Syzgies," which were published on a continuing basis in Vanity Fair and The Lady are fully described for the first<br />
time, and dozens of previously unknown Doublets and Syzygies are reprinted. Lovett's introductory essay<br />
discusses Dodgson's career as both a reader of periodicals and a contributor to them, and quotes extensively from<br />
one of the "lost" periodical contributions - Dodgson material which has not been reprinted. [Order No. 53904]<br />

Libraries & Culture: Historical Essays Honoring the Legacy of Donald G. Davis, Jr. is a collection of essays first published<br />
as a special festschrift issue of Libraries & Culture (40:3) in summer 2005. John Y. Cole, Center for the <strong>Book</strong> director,<br />
notes that the book is dedicated to Davis because "his leadership during the past three decades has helped shape<br />
library history into an important interdisciplinary and international field of study. His own work as an author,<br />
editor, and book reviewer has been a notable and influential part of this effort." In addition to 16 essays, the<br />
volume includes a Foreword by library historian Robert Sidney Martin, former director of the Institute of Museum<br />
and Library Services; an introduction by the editors, and an index prepared by Hermina G.B. Anghelescu. The four<br />
book plates on the back cover are from the collections of the Rare <strong>Book</strong> and Special Collections Division of the<br />
Library of Congress. Each represents an important development in the history of the Library of Congress and its<br />
specialized collections. The dust jacket, preface and index are new additions, not part of the previous publication.<br />

Gatch traces the remarkable history of the Leander van Ess collection purchased by the Union Theological<br />
Seminary in 1838, the first and largest collection of these religious tracts to arrive in America. He notes how they<br />
were originally obtained by van Ess, a Catholic priest, translator of the Bible, and a former Benedictine monk, who<br />
built an impressive personal collection of books and manuscripts when monastic libraries were being dispersed<br />
during the Napoleonic wars. Gatch has also identified a significant group of pamphlets assembled at Wittenberg<br />
during the 1520s, Luther's most creative period. Never before accurately described, the surviving pamphlets from<br />
this collection are listed here in the order of van Ess's own catalogue, with a set of indexes to authors and printers,<br />
and with concordances to major bibliographical resources. Gatch reviews the history Reformation pamphlet<br />
collecting in the United States from these earliest efforts up to the beginning of the twentieth century. An extensive<br />
bibliography and a detailed index of the introductory essays are included. Distributed for the Bibliographical<br />

between the theoretical texts devoted to collecting and the rich fictional texts that also take collecting as their focus.<br />
Wendorf shows how the critical arguments posed by Benjamin, Baudrillard, Muensterberger and others play out<br />
in these modern literary texts and how, in turn, these fictional works complicate the ways in which we think about<br />

First edition, third printing. A humorous and poignant essay on the idiosyncrasies of book arrangements by<br />
collectors over the centuries. Professor Belanger treats the reader to some of the idiotic methods of categorizing<br />
and shelving books. One gem from an etiquette book of 1863 decreed that a perfect hostess will see to it that the<br />
works of male and female authors be properly segregated on her book shelves. Their proximity, unless they<br />
happen to be married, should not be tolerated. This book will bring a smile to the face of any bibliophile. Belanger,<br />

inches, Hardcover, dust jacket. 176 pages. ISBN 9781584562320. $65.00 $48.75<br />
First edition. This is the first full-length study of the leading American type foundry of the nineteenth century. The<br />
author describes (with many detailed photographic illustrations) how changing business conditions and technical<br />
improvements in typefounding interacted with changes in public taste to modify, over the decades, the<br />
appearance of the typefaces that Americans found in their publications. While this is a study of only one of many<br />
American foundries, in many ways MacKellar, Smiths & Jordan can stand as an exemplar of all the rest. The scores<br />
of typefaces illustrated and described are considered as the ever-changing output of a corporation, with lesser<br />
emphasis on the individual creators of each typeface. At the turn of the twentieth century, taste turned away from<br />
1-4 books, 25% off 5-25 books, 40% off 26-49 books, 45% off 50+books, 50% off

This is the first descriptive bibliography of the works of Malcolm Lowry, author of Under the Volcano, one of the<br />
masterpieces of 20th-century literature. Volcano has gone into more than 40 printings in its various English<br />
language editions, as well as having been translated into 19 other languages. Under the Volcano was the centerpiece<br />
of a work in progress to be called The Voyage that Never Ends, a work that Lowry did not live to finish. When it first<br />
appeared in 1947, it was hailed everywhere as a major publishing event. The bibliography describes all of Lowry's<br />
books and pamphlets, listing every printing of each edition. Each of the book entries is illustrated with<br />
photographs of dust jackets, title pages, and copyright pages. There are 23 listings for contributions to books, 224<br />
for contributions to periodicals, including descriptions of all of Lowry's contributions to his school paper, and 73<br />

First edition. Three hundred years ago, now treasured medieval manuscripts were scorned, neglected and left to<br />

This exhibition which was held in New York from April 11 to June 28, 2008, invited artists, who in turn invited<br />
additional participants, to submit work via the postal service, thus creating a network of communication that<br />

resulting exhibition was a visual explosion of work by over 200 artists. The catalogue features an extensive<br />

Curated by Susan Danforth, the exhibition that formed the basis for this catalogue demonstrated how the urge to<br />
collect, preserve, and ultimately share books can, however subtly, affect the physical character of the book itself.<br />
With a focus on acquisitions made in the nineteenth century - including several made by founder John Carter<br />
Brown - this exhibition uses selections from the Library collection to illustrate some of the effects that taste and<br />
trends in book collecting have had on the book as an object. The JCB exhibition has been grouped into four broad<br />
categories: identification, embellishment, restoration, and an exploration of the challenges presented by facsimiles.<br />
Among the items on display are long-collected books published by Aldus Manutius and Theodor DeBry, as well as<br />

First edition. Here, in the guise of a history of the Private Libraries Association, is an account of the friendships of<br />
its members over the past fifty years. The book contains the story of the Association and a bibliography of its<br />
publications, but perhaps the most interesting portions are the brief essays by over eighty members about their<br />
collections, with photographs of many of these individuals and illustrations taken from the collections. Their<br />
specialties range from illustrated books and early private presses to Australiana, golf, the history of the automobile<br />
and surgery. There is a retail price index at the end of the book, which will prove very useful when recounting<br />
book prices over the last 50 years. Distributed for the Private Libraries Association. [Order No. 94201]<br />

A reprint of the original edition, published by George Franz, München, 1858-79 (Arntzen & Rainwater, Guide to<br />
the Literature of Art History, E58). The standard work on artists' monograms, illustrated with more than 30,000<br />
facsimiles. An indispensable tool to identify artists who signed themselves only by their monogram or similar<br />
devices. Thousands of these artists were also book illustrators, hence this work's importance for books as well as<br />
fine art in general. Nagler begins by giving an exact facsimile of the monogram, followed by the artist's name, a<br />
biographical sketch, list of works, and books illustrated by him. This edition also includes an index of artists'<br />

Here, for the first time in a detailed and readable account focusing on Lincoln's personal involvement, Dave Leroy<br />
writes the full story with original correspondence, contemporary newspaper accounts, and photos and<br />
illustrations of the day to carry the reader from the dejected debater of 1858 to the surprise president of 1860 who<br />
rode a political bestseller to the White House. Perhaps the last remaining Lincoln mystery is also explained at<br />
length: did Lincoln make one or two paste-up scrapbooks of the original newspaper texts of his and Douglas'<br />
verbatim debate remarks? If only one existed, why did a New York newspaper account hint at another in<br />
December, 1860? If there were two, what became of the second? Like a lawyer before a jury, Leroy marshals the<br />
facts to let the reader decide. It is a rare day when something novel is published about Abraham Lincoln's life and<br />
work. Yet 20,000 volumes later, Mr. Lincoln's <strong>Book</strong> is an unknown study, well researched and compellingly told.<br />
The printed volume is accompanied by a CD-ROM containing a complete copy of Lincoln's scrapbook of the<br />
debates, copies and transcriptions of Lincoln's correspondence, and some related political cartoons and<br />
photographs. [Order No. 99275]<br />

pages. ISBN 9781584562450. $49.95 $37.46<br />
The original contributions contained in this newest addition to the Publishing Pathways series map some of the<br />
common ground between music and other forms of print, exploring the ways in which the organization of<br />
production and the process of publication of printed music have developed over time. From the production and<br />
sale of missals in Renaissance Spain to the complexities of Gustav Mahlers copyrights in late nineteenth-century<br />
Vienna, these essays raise issues and demonstrate methods of approach that will be of wider relevance to many<br />
areas of book history. How composers and publishers worked out their respective financial interests is just one of<br />
the recurring themes which will strike a chord with those who study the business of print. Co-published with The<br />

introduction, notes on the english marbling tradition, and thirteen original marbled samples by Richard J. Wolfe.<br />
This printing of James Sumner's 1854 marbling manual includes a new preface by Richard J. Wolfe. A further note<br />
on the English marbling tradition and thirteen tipped in original examples of marbled papers by Wolfe have also<br />
been added. The historical introduction, the text of Sumner's pamphlet, and the 1976 endnote appear exactly as<br />
they do in the first reprinting by Bird & Bull Press. Sumner discusses the little-known history of paper marbling<br />
prior to the nineteenth century. Sumner's original pamphlet had no exhibit samples attached. Wolfe added thirteen<br />
samples of marbled paper that were possibly created by Sumner himself, or by John Hargreaves, his associate, for<br />

Reprint of the 1995 <strong>Oak</strong> <strong>Knoll</strong> edition. Ronald B. McKerrow's An Introduction<br />
to Bibliography for Literary Students has been the classic manual on<br />
bibliography, showing how the transmission of texts might be affected by<br />
the processes of printing, but he concentrated almost exclusively on<br />
"Elizabethan" printing - the period from 1560 to 1660. However, in recent<br />
years, there has been an increasing interest in the textual problems of the<br />
18th, 19th and 20th centuries, and, although McKerrow covered the period<br />
up to 1800, he did not describe the technology of the machine-press period.<br />
Gaskell incorporates work done since McKerrow's day on the history of the<br />
printing technology of the hand-press period, and he breaks new ground by<br />
providing a general description of the printing practices of the<br />
machine-press period. He describes the hand-printed book, press-work,<br />
patterns of production, plates, and more. In addition, he examines<br />
bibliographical applications, reference bibliography, and the process of book production. Little has been<br />
previously published about the techniques and routines of nineteenth- and twentieth-century book production,<br />
making this book essential to students of literature, scholars, printing historians, and librarians. [Order No. 42436]<br />

In 1896 William E. Loy, a San Francisco printing equipment salesman and scholar, had the idea of writing a series<br />
of profiles of type designers. Loy took a long view of history, and realized that it was important to document the<br />
men in the background who created the nineteenth century's fanciful types, even as the furiously competing type<br />
foundries got the credit for introducing them to the printing trade. His work was serialized in The Inland Printer<br />
over the next three years and included biographies, photographs of the artists, and lists of the type they had<br />
designed or cut, which Loy had painstakingly compiled through correspondence with the type founders and other<br />
craftsmen. Unfortunately, due to the technical limitations of a monthly periodical, it was not possible to show the<br />
typefaces mentioned. Finally here is the work as Loy envisioned it, with over 800 illustrations of typefaces<br />
designed by the craftsmen he discusses. Here, written by a man who knew many of the designers and engravers, is<br />
the behind-the-scenes story: biographies of men - artists, sportsmen, blacksmiths, soldiers, even a game warden -<br />
who were the creators of these innovative types. Loy traces their personal stories adding much incidental detail<br />
about the politics & business practices of the time and the innovations of each of these thirty men. Now, a century<br />
later, typographical historians Alastair Johnston and Stephen Saxe have realized Loy's vision, fully illustrated and<br />
annotated. [Order No. 96679]<br />

A fascinating census of the limericks in Edward Lear's <strong>Book</strong> of Nonsense,which was first published in 1846 as two<br />
separate volumes with seventy-three limericks. A "new" (i.e. second) edition came out in 1855, and a third edition<br />
with forty-three additional verses was published in 1861. This third edition provides the first full text and also<br />
identifies Lear as the author for the first time. It is often considered the first "trade" version, as it was published by<br />
Routledge, Warne & Routledge and consequently received broader distribution and readership. Justin Schiller has<br />
cross-referenced the 116 limericks in the third edition with eight manuscripts for this book (which are now<br />
preserved in various rare book collections) and compared them to the printed texts of the 1846, 1855 and 1861<br />

Reprint of the first edition published in Montreal during 1932-1933. Four parts bound in one. The Récollets<br />
(Recollects) were a French branch of the Franciscans (Latin: Ordo Fratrum Minorum), first established in France<br />
about 1570. The French Récollets had 11 provinces with 2534 cloisters by the late 18th century. The order was<br />
suppressed during the French Revolution. The Récollets were important as missionaries to the French colonies in<br />
Canada, although they were displaced there by the Jesuits. The first Récollet missionaries arrived at Quebec City,<br />
from Rouen on June 2, 1615. The Récollet fathers are said to have brewed the first beer in New France in 1620. They<br />
left New France in 1629 but returned in 1670. After the British conquest, the order was prohibited from recruiting<br />
new members. The last Canadian Récollet Brother Louis died in 1848 at Quebec City. Includes bibliographies of<br />

First edition. The industrialization of papermaking has obscured the traditional ways through which handmade<br />
paper is produced. However, Off the Decle Edge reminds us of the longstanding history of papermaking along with<br />
the visual and sensual qualities handmade paper possesses. Premchand marries seven bound-in full-page paper<br />
specimens with 107 colorful and exotic photographs in a modernly produced book with beautiful accounts of the<br />
people and culture of India. Also contains a bibliography, a glossary and a touching dedication to Khaddari who<br />
encouraged Premchand to produce this book but passed away soon after their meeting. [Order No. 43946]<br />

This exhibition, held in New York from September 28 to December 7, 1996, reveals the innovative ways artists<br />
utilize paper to express ideas conveyed in books and broadsides. Rather than viewing paper as merely a neutral<br />
substrate, many of these works employ unusual or evocative papers that integrate the medium's physical<br />
components, fiber, watermark, decorative elements, weight and texture with the final work's text and image, or<br />
even guide the structure and intent of the book itself. In all the works in this exhibition, paper is a form of tangible<br />
memory, and demonstrates human efforts to convert the products of the earth into a medium for expressing the<br />
thoughts of one person to another, one generation to those who will follow. Pamphlet stitched with letterpress<br />

First edition. In The Paradox of Prosperity, Laura Cruz explores the world of the book trades as it was constructed in<br />
Leiden in the decades after the Revolt against Spanish rule. She traces the migration of printers from the Southern<br />
Netherlands to Leiden and observes how they congregated within the city and sought contracts with the city's new<br />
university. But this is only the beginning of a multifaceted analysis of the development of a market-driven<br />
industry that eventually is organized under the protective umbrella of a guild. And this guild, in turn, is<br />
something other than the traditional guilds of medieval origins. Rather than a bulwark against market forces, the<br />
guild of the printers was an instrument to exercise market power. This book offers a fresh look at the role of an<br />
institution that is often dismissed, even in the early modern period, as a relic of an earlier time. [Order No. 96671]<br />

This tenth volume of the Print Networks series contains eleven original contributions by scholars working on<br />
periodicals and newspapers in the British Isles, outside London. The essays focus on the period between 1740 and<br />
1914, including some case studies of individual publishers and their experiences in the print market. This volume<br />
demonstrates the cultural and political significance of newspapers and periodicals and their producers. A key<br />
theme emerging from the essays is the range of relationships between producers and consumers of print who lived<br />
and worked in the provinces and their connections with London. Examination of the question of "provinciality"<br />
sheds considerable new light on the connections between book trade people in all parts of the British Isles. [Order<br />

Portraits in the Collection of the American Antiquarian Society grew out of a project initiated by Georgia B.<br />
Barnhill, Andrew W. Mellon Curator of Graphic Arts at the American Antiquarian Society, to update the<br />
documentation of the Society's portrait collection reflecting its growth since 1946. Art historian Linda J. Docherty<br />
addresses the eclectic nature of the collection in an introductory essay in which she notes that "subject matter<br />
always took precedence over artistic quality at the Society, which, eschewing aesthetic standards, formed a<br />
collection of visual range and great historical import." Hewes, in addition to drafting catalogue entries for each<br />
portrait, has written an essay providing an overview of the 164 painted portraits, miniatures, and busts that<br />
comprise the Society's portrait collection. She observes that, like other institutional collections, these portraits<br />
speak to the Society's mission by reminding its staff of the individuals and ideas that preceded them. With 203<br />
black-and-white illustrations and a 24-page color insert. Distributed for the American Antiquarian Society. [Order<br />

This long-awaited biography brings to life the remarkable printer, politician and sage, Everett Johnson. Inspired<br />
by the work of Elbert Hubbard's Roycrofters, Johnson established the indomitable Press of Kells in Newark,<br />
Delaware. The fortress-like stone building that became home to the "Newark Post" still stands, and as of 1999, this<br />
lively paper celebrates its 90th year. For the next generation, through his books, newspaper articles, and public<br />
service, he struggled to champion a series of social causes and became known as the "Conscience of Delaware."<br />

First edition. Printed Catalogues is an important record of 17th- and 18th-century books in the first printed<br />
university and public catalogue of the Harvard College Library. By 1764, the Library was considered the most<br />
substantial library in British North America at the time. For scholars of book history, American history and<br />
education, Printed Catalogues provides insight into the books of the period, the early formation of this academic<br />
institution and the education of its early students. A brief introduction outlines the history of the catalogues, the<br />
library and the manuscript materials for its study, which are not included. Though the 1723 catalogue describes<br />
books destroyed by fire in 1764, these 3,000 volumes composed the first library at Harvard College and are<br />
arranged alphabetically by author and title in this work. The strength of the collection is in divinity and classical<br />
philology, but the subjects of law, medicine and science are also prominent. The 1773 catalogue is a brief<br />
undergraduate reading list, mainly of interest for the history of the College and its curriculum. The 1790 catalogue<br />
describes the roughly 9,000 volumes acquired between 1764 and 1790, categorized by subjects which range much<br />
more widely than those of the earlier library due to the intellectual interests of its chief donor, Thomas Hollis. An<br />
index of authors and titles allows the user to locate the catalogue entries in modern references such as the British<br />
Museum Catalogue or the pre-1956 National Union Catalogue and, conversely, to check Harvard's 18th-century<br />
holdings of particular titles. [Order No. 44060]<br />

Luther's compilation is an exhaustive new bibliography on the literature of astronomy. It records over 4000<br />
authors and 15,000 titles, with an additional 3,000 new cross-references. Most authors are recorded with full<br />
names, dates of birth and death, and the authorities for that information. Most titles are recorded with the<br />
approximate size of the book, place of publication, and date of publication. Special care has been taken to record<br />
titles by obscure minor figures, meteorological titles, and unconventional titles. The inclusion of serial off-prints<br />
gives a breadth to the listings of each other which has yet to be approached by the offerings of on-line catalogues.<br />
The work has been compiled with the attention to detail and has taken several years to complete. For the first time<br />
the holdings of the Royal Astronomical Society have been brought up to date and augmented for the student of the<br />

The topic of this new book from the American Antiquarian Society is printing in New England in the late<br />
eighteenth and early nineteenth century. More specifically, the author focuses on three printers who were active<br />
during that period: Nathaniel Coverly, Sr.; Nathaniel Coverly, Jr.; and Joseph White. Through a close examination<br />
of the bibliographical evidence, she demonstrates the extent of the production by the two Coverlys and White to<br />
the reading material available to adults and children in New England over more than fifty years. The introduction<br />
provides a brief historical summary and an outline of the text that follows. Biographical descriptions of the<br />
Coverlys and Joseph White, as well as checklists of their works are included. There are approximately twenty<br />
grayscale images throughout the text. An index makes quick referencing possible. Distributed for the American<br />
Antiquarian Society. [Order No. 100615]<br />

Some of the devices are the marks of well-known printing houses, where Greek scholars and calligraphers were<br />
largely responsible for the accuracy of the texts and the visual appearance of the book, such as the firms of Aldus<br />
Manutius in Venice and Robert Estienne in Paris. All this printing and publishing activity, even if limited to only<br />
books containing printers or publishers marks, covered a vast area of the Western and Eastern worlds. The marks<br />
are illustrated and described in all their variant forms, complete with bibliographical references, identifications, a<br />
general index, and an index of printers and printing houses. They are shown at actual size and presented<br />
chronologically. Includes a brief message to the reader by the author, as well as an extensive and detailed<br />

First edition. These essays have been written by leading scholars on early bookselling, reading habits and the<br />
impact of printing in early America. Printing history in its broadest context may be viewed as a distinct form of<br />
cultural history, a synthesis combining the attention to ideas that is central to intellectual history with the<br />
emphasis on patterns of behavior and organization characteristic of social history. This work encourages new<br />
approaches to the study of early printing, including the fusion of bibliographical analysis and the broadly cultural<br />
approach of the French historians of books and society. Together, the essays demonstrate how the world of print<br />
changed between the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries - both shaping and reflecting the larger American<br />
culture. [Order No. 14220]<br />

Third edition, reprinted with new introduction by Martin Hutner. This<br />
extraordinary work explores the art of typography from the dawn of printing<br />
to the twentieth century. By tracing the development of type design, Updike<br />
discusses the importance of each historic period and the lessons they contain<br />
for today's designers. The original two-volume set has been combined into<br />
one book containing the original 367 typographical illustrations selected<br />
from rare and beautiful books. Updike's well-written text constitutes a<br />
running commentary on the historical and artistic significance of these<br />
illustrations, which exemplify the best work of printers and type founders<br />
from Gutenberg to Bruce Rogers. Updike discusses the Latin alphabet, the<br />
invention of printing, the cutting and casting of types, fifteenth-century types<br />
in Germany, Italy, France, Spain, and England, as well as German, Italian<br />
and French types of the sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth centuries.<br />
Volume II continues the discussion of types to the beginning of the<br />
nineteenth century and then describes American types and<br />
nineteenth-century types in general. Co-published with The British Library.<br />

First edition. The Connolly <strong>Book</strong> of Hours is a beautiful example of fifteenth-century French manuscript art preserved<br />
in the collection of the John J. Burns Library at Boston College. Comprised of gospel readings, commemorative<br />
prayers for the saints and the Little Office of Our Lady, this <strong>Book</strong> of Hours provided a wide range of topics for the<br />
decorations of the medieval artist. This publication, the first to bring the glories of the Connolly Hours to the<br />
attention of the public, examines the historical context of the creation and use of illuminated manuscripts, details<br />
several of the lesser known Latin prayers used in the book, and offers modern French and English translations of<br />
the three vernacular prayers that conclude the text. Reflections by members of the Boston College community on<br />
the personal meaning they found in these brilliantly rendered illuminations accompanies each of the thirty-two<br />
color facsimile plates and descriptive iconography. [Order No. 63805]<br />

Seven Perspectives on the Woodcut covers a wide range of issues related to<br />
bookmaking in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. The analyses of the art of<br />
the woodcut presented here have their beginnings in the exhibition "A<br />
Heavenly Craft: The Woodcut in Early Printed <strong>Book</strong>s," which opened at the<br />
Library of Congress in April 2005. Each chapter analyzes unique perspectives<br />
on the artistic development of the woodcut. Topics include the work of<br />
Albrecht Dürer, distinguished miniaturist Benedetto Bordon, early illustrated<br />
versions of Genesis, the illustrations for Bernhard von Breydenbach's Travels<br />
in the Holy Land, one of the earliest travelogues, and the history of early<br />
illustrated prayer books and devotional texts. Corresponding images of<br />
woodcuts as well as photographs of original woodblocks appear throughout<br />

The bibliography lists the press's monographs, pamphlets, exhibition catalogs and all publications relating to<br />

"Emerson" for commercial book composition. In his later years, Blumenthal prepared a series of exhibitions on fine<br />
printing in America and Europe. He wrote and taught, sharing his passion for the book. To him the book was "a<br />
prime cultural heritage. Poetry, knowledge and the aspirations of mankind have been spread by the book to the<br />
whole of society." The book has 196 pages containing more than two dozen reproductions of Spiral Press pages.<br />

still generally accepted. Bennett, however, presents new documentary and visual evidence that books were<br />
predominantly sold ready-bound in sheep, calf, and goat as well as boards and wrappers. Over 200 color<br />

First edition. This book is the long-awaited successor to the classic<br />
An Atlas of Typeforms, the great visually-led history of type that<br />
Alan Bartram and James Sutton produced in 1968. Much has<br />
changed in the last 40 years, not least the teaching of typography<br />
and the means by which it is created. Because current design<br />
methods do not require the drawing and tracing of letterforms in<br />
order to produce layouts, we have lost our close connection with<br />
them. Few understand their history, their appearance, and how<br />
and why they have developed as they have. Nearly 75 different<br />
types are shown in their original metal forms, just as they were in<br />
the Atlas of Typeforms. But an entirely new feature is the author's<br />

The challenge of conveying the beautiful cursive Syriac script, in one or another of its three varieties, was taken up<br />
by many well-known type-designers in the letterpress era, from Robert Granjon in the sixteenth century to the<br />
Monotype and Linotype corporations in the twentieth, as well as by many lesser-known ones. This study records<br />
and abundantly illustrates no fewer than 129 different Syriac types, using archival documents, type-specimens,<br />
and the often scattered evidence of the print itself. [Order No. 91843]<br />

First edition. The Vale Press is the story of typographer, publisher and wood engraver Charles Ricketts (1866-1931)<br />
and his famous press. Ricketts was a versatile and innovative practitioner of the printing arts who exerted a<br />
powerful influence on the development of modern book design. The Vale Press is the most comprehensive history<br />
of this early private press. Beginning with his work as "a designer of books and bindings" for Oscar Wilde, the<br />
story of the Vale Press reveals for the first time the nature of Ricketts's collaboration with the master printer<br />
Charles McCall of the Ballantyne Press, and the degree to which his success, both artistic and commercial,<br />
depended upon the transformation of his redundant skill as a wood engraver into a positive medium of artistic<br />
expression. This work includes a complete bibliography of the Vale Press's books and ephemera and is illustrated<br />

This new work, limited to 300 copies of which 275 are for sale, is a facsimile reproduction and translation of an<br />
important early German manual on decorated and marbled paper. Following an introduction by Richard Wolfe,<br />
the book displays the facsimile on the left page and a parallel translation on the opposing page. In the historical<br />
introduction to the facsimile reproduction and his translation of this work, Richard J. Wolfe summarizes the<br />
professional literature on marbling and paper coloring that began to appear in Germany at the beginning of the<br />
nineteenth century. Der Vollkommne Papierfärber, published around 1823, is the earliest work of its kind that has<br />
survived. Wolfe shares his experience with a seemingly unique copy of this rare and seminal treatise that he<br />
initially encountered in Leipzig in 1987. He also discusses its relationship to other early pertinent literature that<br />
was published in Germany around the same time, particularly the works on bookbinding and paper coloring<br />
produced by Christian Freidrich Gottlob Thon. [Order No. 99499]<br />

Reprint of the first edition which was published in Paris by E. Perrin over the period 1882-1890 (Besterman 6460).<br />
François-Marie Arouet (21 November 1694-30 May 1778), better known by the pen name Voltaire, was a French<br />
Enlightenment writer, essayist, deist, and philosopher known for his wit, philosophical sport, and defense of civil<br />
liberties, including freedom of religion and the right to a fair trial. He was an outspoken supporter of social reform<br />
despite strict censorship laws in France and harsh penalties for those who broke them. A satirical polemicist, he<br />
frequently made use of his works to criticize Christian Church dogma and the French institutions of his day. This<br />
remains a standard work on Voltaire, describing 12,500 works. [Order No. 94708]<br />

This 10th volume of the New England Bibliographies series represents the efforts of the Committee for a New<br />
England Bibliography and its editor, Roger Parks, to keep the series of bibliographies of New England towns,<br />
states, and the region current. It combines the entries of Volume 10, parts A, B, and C which were published for<br />
subscribers in 1998, 2000, and 2002. The entries are organized under geographical headings and numbered<br />
consecutively (replacing the provisional numbers used in the three parts distributed to subscribers earlier). A<br />
lengthy author and subject index has been added. The volume includes 4461 entries - indicating that writings on<br />
New England is a lively field and owning a complete set of these bibliographies is a valuable addition to a research<br />
library's reference shelf. The front matter includes location symbols for the books, pamphlets and dissertations<br />
listed in Volume 10. The volume was compiled by Roger Parks who has been the editor since 1981 and is<br />
