16 74. Brinks, John Dieter (editor). THE BOOK AS A WORK OF ART, THE CRANACH PRESS OF COUNT HARRY KESSLER. Berlin and Williamstown, MA: Triton Verlag and the Chapin Library, Williams College, 2005, 4to., cloth, slipcase. 456 pages. ISBN 3935518669. $290.00 $217.50 First edition in English (from the 2004 German edition). The Cranach Press, though located in Germany, was inspired by and became an integral product of the English private press movement. Following advice from Emery Walker, new typefaces were drawn by Edward Johnston and cut by Edward Prince and George Friend; then Harry Gage-Cole was called in as pressman to print the wood-engravings of Gordon Craig, Eric Gill, and Aristide Maillol. Their work is recorded in this lavishly illustrated book. The Book as a Work of Art includes Essays by John Dreyfus, Anne Hyde Greet, Gunnar Kaldewey, J.D. Brinks, Renate Müller-Krumbach, Lindsay Newman, among others, with extensive documentation and a new and illustrated bibliography of the Cranach Press. Designed by Sabine Golde and John Dieter Brinks, in a black slip-case. Distributed for Triton Verlag, Berlin, Germany and Chapin Library of the Williams College, Williamstown, MA. [Order No. 88729] 75. Yardeni, Ada. THE BOOK OF HEBREW SCRIPT: HISTORY, PALAEOGRAPHY, SCRIPT STYLES, CALLIGRAPHY & DESIGN. New Castle, DE: Oak Knoll Press, 2002, 4to., cloth, dust jacket. 365 pages. ISBN 9781584560876. $69.95 $52.46 First edition, second printing. From the very scarce first printing in English done in Israel. This work is one of the most definitive books written on the origin and development of the Hebrew Script. Breaking through almost all fences within which Hebrew paleography has been confined, this work starts at the beginning, forges through the Second Temple period, and deals with all the periods following it. The shapes of the letters and their development are documented, described and analyzed. The survey also includes various scripts. Well-illustrated with the evolutionary calligraphy of the Ancient Hebrews. Sales Rights: Available in North & South America from Oak Knoll Books. Available outside North & South America from The British Library. [Order No. 71692] 76. Babcock, Robert G. (editor). A BOOK OF HER OWN: AN EXHIBITION OF MANUSCRIPTS AND PRINTED BOOKS IN THE YALE UNIVERSITY LIBRARY THAT WERE OWNED BY WOMEN BEFORE 1700. New Haven, CT: Yale University, 2005, 4to., stiff paper wrappers. 78 pages. ISBN 0845731637. $22.50 $16.88 Books tell us many things beyond what their authors write in them. Single copies of books, for instance, often reveal their particular history, who owned them, who read them, who gave them as gifts, how they changed hands over the years. This catalogue of the Beinecke Library exhibition, A Book of Her Own, explores an unusual aspect of book history: all of the books in the display, based on various sorts of evidence contained in the books, were owned by women before the year 1700. [Order No. 99721] 77. Hinks, John and Catherine Armstrong (editors). BOOK TRADE CONNECTIONS FROM THE SEVENTEENTH TO THE TWENTIETH CENTURIES. Delivered at the Twenty-second Conference on the History of the British Book Trade Birmingham, July 2005. New Castle, Delaware and London, England: Oak Knoll Press and The British Library, 2008, 6 x 9 inches, Hardcover, dust jacket. 281 pages. ISBN 9781584562290. $49.95 $37.46 First edition. This ninth volume of the Print Networks series contains twelve chapters from scholars working on the connections between the parties involved in the production of print artifacts; from author to printer, publisher, bookseller and reader. Chronologically, the offerings range from the seventeenth to the twentieth century as they track the developing trade in England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland. Publishers and readers who spent part of their lives in North America are also featured in several of the chapters. The main theme emerging from this volume is the significance of cheap print, including newspapers and journals. The social, cultural, political and economic significance of these artifacts is highlighted by an in-depth examination of the lives of those men and women who participated in the book trade. Co-published with The British Library. [Order No. 96655] 78. Mitchell, Michael and Susan Wightman. BOOK TYPOGRAPHY: A DESIGNER'S MANUAL.

Book Typography: A Designer's Manual is a comprehensive guide to typography and typesetting. This manual describes the principles of good design, why they exist, and how to put them to practice. Designing books is a visual task and is best demonstrated with visual examples. Book Typography contains over a thousand examples and illustrations showing typographic principles put into practice - from the smallest detail of punctuation to flat plans of entire books. All the samples come from published works and each is labeled with the font used, its size and leading. Additional information and comment is provided in the side notes. An extensive glossary is also included. It is an essential guide for students and recent graduates hoping to work in book design and publishing. Distributed for Libanus Press. Sales Rights: Worldwide except Europe and the UK; available in Europe and the UK from Libanus Press. [Order No. 92771] 79. Young, Laura S. BOOKBINDING & CONSERVATION BY HAND: A WORKING GUIDE. New Castle: Oak Knoll Press, 1995, 7 x 10 in., paperback. 288 pages. ISBN 9781884718113. $24.95 $18.71 This book is designed as a working guide in the field of hand bookbinding and book conservation. It is intended as a practical manual for teachers and their students; as an instruction guide to be followed by the beginner attempting to learn binding on his or her own; and as a ready reference for experienced binders, book collectors, book dealers, and librarians. The techniques described in this volume follow in principle the German school and, to the best of the author's knowledge, this is the first book in which these binding practices have appeared in English. The basic principles of conservation work cover one of the more important areas in the field of hand bookbinding today. All instructions throughout this book have been tested at the bench by at least one person, in addition to the author, for clarity and completeness. Where feasible, a list of materials needed precedes the step-by-step instructions for a given section or techniques. These lists will allow the binder to gather together all materials and equipment to be used before beginning work on any phase of the project. Originally published in 1981, Oak Knoll's edition has a revised bibliography and a new list of supply sources. [Order No. 42513] 80. (Bookbinding) French, Hannah D. BOOKBINDING IN EARLY AMERICA.

BOOKBINDINGS & OTHER BIBLIOPHILY. Verona: Edizioni Valdonega, 1994, 8vo., cloth, dust jacket. 368 pages. ISBN 8885033261. $125.00 $93.75 First edition. For over forty years, Anthony Hobson has occupied a commanding position in the world of books. Succeeding his father, G. D. Hobson, the great historian of bookbinding, as head of Sotheby's book department, he ran it for some twenty years with equal commercial skill and scholarly learning. Since then, he has established an independent reputation with a series of studies of bookbinding and the history of books generally concerning subjects in Renaissance Italy. On the occasion of his seventieth birthday, a group of his friends decided to honor his achievements with a collection of essays. Twelve contributors have provided essays on bookbinding and the history of books. The subjects range from great collectors, like Grolier, Mahieu, and Anne de Montmorency, to bookbinding techniques and the book trade. In geographical scope there are essays on Ethiopic bookbinding, the Visconti Library at Milan, and British book collectors in Italy.
