New Castle and London: Oak Knoll Press and the British Library, 2008, 4to., cloth. 274 pages. ISBN 9781584562122. $95.00 $71.25 First edition. Byron Sewell and Clare Imholtz have compiled a comprehensive international bibliography of over 1000 entries listing all known editions of Lewis Carroll's Sylvie & Bruno books, their translations into foreign 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 the UK from The British Library. [Order No. 94203] 23. (Bird & Bull Press) Pfeiffer, Gordon (editor). AN ANTHOLOGY OF DELAWARE PAPER- MAKING. With an introduction by Gordon A. Pfeiffer and four wood engravings by John DePol. New 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 Finally there is a previously unpublished thesis written by Patricia M. Brown outlining the history of the Curtis Paper Company in Newark, Delaware.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.

24. Kissel, Eléonore and Erin Vigneau. ARCHITECTURAL PHOTOREPRODUCTIONS: A MANUAL FOR IDENTI- FICATION AND CARE. Introduction by Lois Olcott Price. New Castle, Delaware: Oak Knoll Press and the New York Botanical Garden, 2009, 8 x 10 inches, stiff paper wrappers. 140 pages. ISBN 9781584562160. $49.95 $37.46 Second edition with corrections, new prefaces, a redesigned flow chart, and updates to the original text based on new information that has come to light over the past decade. The authors provide detailed methods for identifying architectural photoreproductions based on examination. The manual discusses twelve distinct processes and offers additional information on several other methods commonly used in North American architectural practice from 1860 to approximately 1960. One of the manual's important features is the flowchart, an outline using a series of questions leading the reader to a preliminary identification. Each process is described in a separate chapter with numerous color illustrations of general and magnified views of select photoreproductions. Each chapter includes sections on how to identify a print, trade names and synonyms, the history and use of the printing process, how a print was manufactured, and degradation and storage considerations. Each of the 54 illustrations, critical for identifying a document's state of condition and extent of damage, have been carefully photographed and checked to ensure correct color representation. Appendices give information on storage and handling, exhibition and current methods of reproduction of architectural prints and drawings. [Order No. 94208] 25. Ray, Gordon N. THE ART DECO BOOK IN FRANCE. Edited by Tanselle, G. Thomas. Printed by Heritage Letterpress of Charlotte, North Carolina. Charlottesville, VA: Bibliographical Society of the University of Virginia, 2005, 6" x 9", cloth. 159 pages. ISBN 9781883631123. $50.00 $37.50 When Gordon Ray delivered the Lyell Lectures at Oxford in 1985, he chose as his subject the Art Deco book illustrations and bindings produced in France in the 1920s. He accompanied his lectures with 183 slides, the majority of them in color, and those illustrations are in fact the reason that the lectures have not been published until now: the expense of producing so many illustrations was too daunting for the publishers that Ray approached. Today a happy solution to this problem is available in the form of digital presentation on the internet, and Ray's work is now being offered in a combination of printed and electronic forms. The verbal text of his lectures is letterpress printed in this present volume (supplemented by eight plates, showing striking examples of the work of the major figures discussed), and all of the available illustrations are being published on the website of the Bibliographical Society of the University of Virginia, at http://etext.virginia.edu/bsuva/artdeco. [Order No. 89578] 26. Koch, Peter Rutledge. ART: DEFINITION FIVE (AND OTHER WRITINGS). Number two of the CODE(X) Monograph Series. Berkeley, California: CODEX Foundation, 2008, 5.5 x 7.75 inches, paperback. 24 pages. ISBN 9780981791425. $35.00 $26.25 Number two of the CODE(X) Monograph Series. Includes several essays and notebook entries by Peter Koch related to the craft of making books. This book was designed and printed in an edition of 500 copies on a Heidelberg cylinder press by Peter Koch assisted by Jonathan Gerken for the CODEX Foundation. The cover was printed from antique wood and metal types in the Koch collection. [Order No. 102898] 27. (Center for Book Arts) ARTIST AS PUBLISHER.
