Cloth, 8vo, 24 cm, 685 pp. From the blurb: "Frank Mumby's famous history first appeared in 1930, when it was praised by Arthur Waugh as being 'as deft, comprehensive and entertaining a piece of workmanship as ever invited the gratitude of all sorts and conditions of bookmen'. For this new edition, Ian Norrie, who has been a practising bookseller, publisher, novelist and journalist for twenty-five years, has completely rewritten the second half, to provide the first detailed history of the trade from 1870 to 1970. Ian Norrie has devoted more than half of the new text to the vital issues which confronted the book trade during the last hundred years of modernization. He records the history of nearly 400 publishers during this period, and of 350 booksellers doing business in approximately 150 cities and towns in the British Isles. Moving on to the present day, he focuses on the growing tendcncy towards takeovers and mergers, especially among publishers, and on the crucial problems raised by the obscenity laws, international copyright and restrictive practices. His objective eye and lively interest in the subject have combined to produce a book which more than deserves the praise accorded to the original." Roderick Cave's copy, signed and dated in pencil on the front free endpaper. Good in used dustwrapper.

Cloth, 8vo, 24 cm, 253 pp. From the blurb: "Mumby's Publishing and Bookselling became a standard text on the history of the British book trade soon after its publication in 1930 and has remained so throughout its many subsequent editions. In 1974 it was revised and updated by Ian Norrie, who contributed a major section devoted specifically to the period 1870-1970. Since then much has happened and the present book, although based on Ian Norrie's part of the 1974 Mumby, has been substantially re-written and re-structured to include the most recent directions taken by the trade in response to changing national and international markets. Ian Norrie records, in his uniquely lively and lucid style, the up-to-date chronicles of publishing houses and booksellers in every part of the British Isles, drawing attention, by so doing, to the trends that underlie these individual histories. In addition he includes more general surveys of the major issues to affect the book business during the twentieth century - among them, international copyright and the strengthening of export markets, the Net Book Agreement, the advent of book clubs and of bookselling chains, the 'paperback revolution', the growing influence of the media and of new technology, and the stringencies of economic recession."
