languages, excerpts from them, the appearance of their poems in anthologies, critical articles and studies, parodies,
and much more. This book establishes for the first time the full bibliographic record of these long-neglected works
by Carroll, including several little-known bibliographic rarities. The bibliography includes a 30-page scholarly
essay by Anne Clark Amor, one of Britain's foremost Carroll scholars, as well as a complete list of the recipients of
Lewis Carroll's presentations of the two books, the latter compiled by Carroll scholar and editor of the acclaimed
new unexpurgated edition of his diaries, Edward Wakeling. Sales rights: Worldwide except in the UK; available in

23. (Bird & Bull Press) Pfeiffer, Gordon (editor). AN ANTHOLOGY OF DELAWARE PAPER-

Castle, DE: The Delaware Bibliophiles and Oak Knoll Books, 1991, 8vo., quarter cloth, printed paper
over boards, leather spine label. Approx. 96 pages. ISBN 0938768263. $195.00 $146.25
Limited to 200 numbered copies. Set in Bell and printed on mouldmade paper by Henry Morris at his Bird & Bull
Press. This work is based on an original article written by Barbara Benson about the general history of
papermaking in Delaware. To this has been added two previously published articles - "The Gilpins and their
Endless Papermaking Machine" by H.B. Hancock and N.B. Wilkinson; and "Papermaker Joshua Gilpin introduces
the Chemical Approach to Papermaking in the U.S." by Sidney M. Edelstein. Finally there is a previously
unpublished thesis written by Patricia M. Brown outlining the history of the Curtis Paper Company in Newark,
Delaware. This is an important article as little has previously been published about the history of this mill which
eventually supplied paper to so many of America's fine book producers. The four original wood engravings by
John DePol beautifully illustrate a number of the mills and a papermaking scene. [Order No. 33045]
