(edited by Alastair M. Johnston and Stephen O. Saxe). NINETEENTH-CEN- TURY AMERICAN DESIGNERS AND ENGRAVERS OF TYPE. New Castle, Delaware: Oak Knoll Press, 2009, 9 x 12 inches, hardcover, dust jacket. 164 pages. ISBN 9781584562610. $59.95 $44.96 In 1896 William E. Loy, a San Francisco printing equipment salesman and scholar, had the idea of writing a series of profiles of type designers. Loy took a long view of history, and realized that it was important to document the men in the background who created the nineteenth century's fanciful types, even as the furiously competing type foundries got the credit for introducing them to the printing trade. His work was serialized in The Inland Printer over the next three years and included biographies, photographs of the artists, and lists of the type they had designed or cut, which Loy had painstakingly compiled through correspondence with the type founders and other craftsmen. Unfortunately, due to the technical limitations of a monthly periodical, it was not possible to show the typefaces mentioned. Finally here is the work as Loy envisioned it, with over 800 illustrations of typefaces designed by the craftsmen he discusses. Here, written by a man who knew many of the designers and engravers, is the behind-the-scenes story: biographies of men - artists, sportsmen, blacksmiths, soldiers, even a game warden - who were the creators of these innovative types. Loy traces their personal stories adding much incidental detail about the politics & business practices of the time and the innovations of each of these thirty men. Now, a century later, typographical historians Alastair Johnston and Stephen Saxe have realized Loy's vision, fully illustrated and annotated. [Order No. 96679] 302. Wolff, Robert Lee.

New Castle and London: Oak Knoll Press and the British Library, 2004, small 4to., unbound sheets. 1152 pages. ISBN 1-58456-100-9. $55.00 $41.25 First edition. Set of unbound sheets suitable for binding. Nineteenth-Century Printing Practices and the Iron Handpress is encyclopedic in its examination of printing techniques from the late-seventeenth century through the nineteenth century. Using selected readings from printers' manuals - beginning with Joseph Moxon's Mechanick Exercises on the Whole Art of Printing, 1683, and culminating with John Southward's Practical Printing, 1900 - Gabriel Rummonds has distilled over two hundred years of printers' wisdom into this very readable and important work on iron handpresses and how they were used in the nineteenth century. With almost five hundred rare and scarce 1-4 books, 25% off 5-25 books, 40% off 26-49 books, 45% off 50+books, 50% off
wood cuts, engravings and photographs, and the most comprehensive annotated bibliography on the subject ever printed, this monumental, two-volume work stands alone in the annals of printing history.

NONSENSUS: CROSS-REFERENCING EDWARD LEAR'S ORIGINAL 116 LIMERICKS WITH EIGHT HOLOGRAPH MANUSCRIPTS AND COM- PARING THEM TO PRINTED TEXTS FROM THE 1846,1855 AND 1861 VERSIONS; TO- GETHER WITH A CENSUS OF KNOWN COPIES OF THE GENUINE FIRST EDITION. With introductory remarks by Vivien Noakes. Stroud: Catalpa Press, 1988, oblong 8vo., stiff paper wrappers. xii, 119 pages. ISBN 0904995135. $35.00 $26.25 A fascinating census of the limericks in Edward Lear's Book of Nonsense,which was first published in 1846 as two separate volumes with seventy-three limericks. A "new" (i.e. second) edition came out in 1855, and a third edition with forty-three additional verses was published in 1861. This third edition provides the first full text and also identifies Lear as the author for the first time. It is often considered the first "trade" version, as it was published by Routledge, Warne & Routledge and consequently received broader distribution and readership. Justin Schiller has cross-referenced the 116 limericks in the third edition with eight manuscripts for this book (which are now preserved in various rare book collections) and compared them to the printed texts of the 1846, 1855 and 1861 editions. This volume also contains a census of known copies of the genuine first edition. [Order No. 25739] 305. Hugolin, R.P. NOTES BIBLIOGRAPHIQUES POUR SERVIR À L'HISTOIRE DES RÉCOLLETS DU CANADA.

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