stiff paper wrappers. Morris, William (illustrator). 4to. stiff paper wrappers. 318 pages with 113 illustrations. Paperback edition. Reprint of the first edition with additional illustrations and new introduction. With his Kelmscott Press and associations with the Arts & Crafts Movement, William Morris helped raise the public's awareness of fine books to new heights. Morris inspired and influenced a generation of other designers and those working in American typography and book design, including Updike, Rogers, Goudy, Bradley, Cleland, Dwiggins, Ransom, Nash and Collins. This landmark study documents the true extent of Morris's influence on American bookmaking. Now republished by Oak Knoll Press and The British Library, this edition comes with a new Foreword by Jean-François Vilain and contains 111 illustrations of bindings, title pages, type and decorations reproduced from the originals, as well as an extensive bibliography. This book is a vital contribution to the history of American design, intellectualism and culture, appealing not only to those interested in the history of book design, art, graphic art and typography, but also to librarians, book collectors and those studying the literature of the period.

First Edition
Condition: New. . First Edition. First Edition. large octavo, dark green cloth in dust jacket. (viii), 144 pp. Oak Knoll Press/The British Library, This book is the first comprehensive (and long-overdue) bibliographic study of the London partnership of Field & Tuer and their publishing imprint, Leadenhall Press (later the Leadenhall Press, Ltd.). Matthew Young makes a convincing argument for Andrew W. Tuer (1838-1900) as one of the most imaginative and influential printers and publishers of the mid-to-late Victorian period. Known today primarily for old-style facsimile reprints and a few outstanding works such as Tuer's own History of the Horn-Book, the Leadenhall Press in fact published hundreds of titles in almost every subject area, from sixpenny pamphlets to vellum-bound limited editions dedicated by command to the Queen, as well as two important and long-running periodicals: The Paper & Printing Trades Journal and The Printers International Specimen Exchange. The remarkable range of the catalogue is evident in a small sample from 1885: Jerome K. Jerome's first book, On the Stage--and Off; Joseph Crawhall's hand-colored Izaak Walton: His Wallet Booke; The Owls of Olynn Belfry, illustrated by Randolph Caldecott; Sir Montague Shearman's Foot-Ball: Its History for Five Centuries; feminist Emily Jane Pfeiffer's Flying Leaves from East and West; and Songs of the North, illustrated by (among others) Edward Burne-Jones, Charles Keene, Albert Moore, Frederick Sandys, and J.M. Whistler. The book includes a revealing portrait of Andrew Tuer as a man of energy, curiosity, and wit: a successful businessman, inventor, advocate for fine printing, publisher, designer, collector, author, and correspondent. The annotated checklist describes nearly 450 publications issued by Field & Tuer and the Leadenhall Press from 1863 to 1913. Listing details include: month and year of publication, publisher's job number, listed price, brief description of format and cover design, important aspects of content and publication, and location of scarce and noteworthy copies. Appendices cover Andrew Tuer's writings, ephemera, series titles, and institutional collections of special interest. A color section and illustrations in the text complete the story of an important link in the development of printing between the Chiswick Press of Charles Whittingham II and the celebrated publishers of the 1890s. Very fine. large octavo, dark green cloth in dust jacket.

Paperback. 5.5 x 8.75 inches. Paperback. 94 pages. This 96-page booklet was reprinted from the pages of The Book Collector.

The success of his firm was not measured financially but in well-edited and well-produced non-fiction books.

This book would be of interest to all enthusiasts of publishing history, especially those focussing on post-World-War II Britain.

Bound in the original gilt-stamped blue cloth. From the dust jacket: "The writing career of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson ('Lewis Carroll') began and ended with his contributions to periodicals. Between 1843, when he wrote a story for his grammar school magazine, until his death in 1898, he published over 300 items in magazines, journals, and newspapers. For the first time these writings are fully listed, described, annotated, and indexed by Carroll scholar Charles Lovett in LEWIS CARROLL & THE PRESS. This comprehensive new work not only provides bibliographical details lacking from previous studies, it describes Dodgson's letters, articles, games, mathematical problems, and stories in such a way that the scholar without access to these rare items will gain an understanding of where Dodgson stood on various subjects and of the nature of his relationship with the public through the press. Previously unknown Dodgson items are brought to light in this listing, and numerous early reprints are recorded for the first time. Dodgson's word puzzles 'Doublets' and 'Syzygies,' which were published on a continuing basis in VANITY FAIR and THE LADY, are fully described for the first time, and dozens of previously unknown Doublet and Syzygy problems are reprinted. The annotations, too, are replete with previously unpublished information. Lovett's introductory essay discusses Dodgson's career as both a reader of periodicals and a contributor to them, and quotes extensively from some of the 'lost' periodical contributions -- Dodgson material which has not been reprinted since its original appearance. The essay also identifies a previously unknown Lewis Carroll parody and suggests a possible inspiration for THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS. Its wealth of new material and its full and proper description of what has so often been neglected in the past make LEWIS CARROLL AND THE PRESS an invaluable reference for librarians, scholars, students, professors, collectors , and booksellers.".

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st. Cloth, 256 pages, illustrations; 26 cm. Tight, clean copy. Dust jacket protected in a mylar book cover. "When people think of Bewick, they are generally thinking of Thomas Bewick (1753-1828) and his superlative wood engravings of animals and birds. Thomas skill and reputation largely obscured the artistic recognition of his younger brother, John Bewick, as an accomplished wood engraver illustrating mostly children's books. Yet John Bewick was one of the earliest, if not the earliest, designer-engravers in England to make his living exclusively by illustrating books. His popularity resulted in producing illustrations and engravings for 60 books - mostly children's books - during a tragically short working life. This is the first book entirely devoted to this remarkable wood engraver. It consists of two parts. The first is a biography of the artist, drawing upon largely unpublished but highly detailed and entertaining correspondence, which has surfaced in the last few years. The second part provides a comprehensive, annotated bibliography of John Bewick's illustrations. This has been made possible by Nigel Tattersfield's discovery of John Bewick's own ledger of commissions dating back to 1791." - Publisher. Size: 4to. Collectible.

This second revised and enlarged edition covers all Larkin's published work to the end of 1994 -- including SELECTED LETTERS and COLLECTED POEMS. The listing of critical material is much extended owing to the explosion of interest in Larkin's poetry after his death.

Barry Bloomfield was a professional librarian and retired in 1990 as Director of Collection Development at the British Library.

Reading, and the manifold signs of reading, have become one of the most dynamic areas of research in book history. The reader as consumer and owner, as well as participant in the construction of new meanings, is the subject of these original essays. Specialists in literature, art history and book history investigate the annotations, marginal marks, extra-illustration and other forms of evidence left by readers. Through an examination of the book as a physical object, the contributors provide a range of intriguing insights into the ways in which this internalized and ephemeral activity can be understood in the context of book-trade history.

Cloth, 8vo, 26 cm, xviii, 398 pp, ills. From the blurb: " 'Not a collection of queer facts or antiquarian scraps' said Harvey Darton of his book when it was first published in 1932, but 'a chronicle of the English people in their capacity of parents, guardians and educators of children'. Certainly, literature -albeit a 'minor literature' - was his central theme, but through it he wove biography and the facts of social and commercial history, the 'human aspect'; and when Children's Books in England was published it proved to be a work whose insights and authority transformed our understanding of its subject. ". For this third edition of Darton's classic work, Brian Alderson, has checked the multitude of small details in the book in an effort to ensure that they are accurate by the standards of modern scholarship; added a number of bibliographical notes; and, in a supplementary chapter, filled out the discussion of children's books during the late Victorian and Edwardian periods, which formed a natural end-point to Harvey Darton's history. In addition, more than sixty new illustrations have been added, in order to expand upon facts and arguments put forward in the text. Near Fine in Near Fine dustwrapper.

Cloth, 4to, viii, 270 pp, ills. From the blurb - "The essays collected in Puzzles in Paper examine the past, present, and future of watermark study, ranging through the disciplines of art history and conservation, bibliography, musicology, and philately. The evidence provided by watermarks and paper stocks is used for a rich variety of purposes: to determine the dating, chronology, and authenticity of musical and literary composition and artistic production; to conceptualize the printing process of a series of incunabula; and to examine the effects of European politics on the paper supply for early printing in the New World. Other essays focus on the development and application of new technologies for the reproduction of watermarks, such as phosphorescence imaging, DYLUX, and digital imaging. Finally, another set of essays describe the use of the World Wide Web as a medium for the construction and dissemination of searchable and robust electronic databases of watermarks. The International Conference on Watermarks, held in Roanoke, Virginia in 1996, attracted scholars and other professionals from seven countries, generating an interest and enthusiasm that carries over into the present volume. The authors and attendees represent a remarkable assemblage of scientific and humanistic expertise: chemists, engineers, experts in digital photography, book dealers and collectors, librarians, archivists, art historians, musicologists, stamp collectors, bibliographers, literary scholars, cartographers, and historians." The contents include: Preface, by Daniel W. Mosier; Concepts of Paper Study, by Paul Needham; Spanish and Italian Watermarks in Colonial Guatemalan Books, by Celia A. Fryer; Watermarks in Rembrandt s Prints: The Use of Watermarks to Study the Prints of an Artist, by Nancy Ash & Shelley Fletcher; Watermark Evidence and the Hidden Editions of Thomas East, by Jeremy L.

As a craft of more than 2,000 years, the art of bookbinding has been overlooked in history. Primarily seen for its practical purpose of protecting the pages of a book, it is sometimes hard to recognize the creative aspects of a bookbinding. Beautiful Bookbindings hopes to bring to light this artistic way of thinking by displaying the finest bookbindings as the objects of desire they were originally intended to be. As the great aesthete Oscar Wilde believed, bookbindings are beautiful and artistic in their own wonder. Because covering materials are prone to fading and deterioration, relatively few examples of early bookbindings have survived. In more recent times, the number of surviving examples has increased due to deliberate efforts to preserve ornate bindings. Despite the difficulty in preserving bindings, this book pieces together the history of bookbinding, using written sources where necessary to fill the gaps that the bindings themselves do not fill. From exquisite medieval bookbindings made of precious metals and jewels to the unique and highly imaginative creations of contemporary bookbinders, this book celebrates over 100 of the most beautiful bookbindings of the last 1,000 years. Books bound by some of the greatest bookbinders including Mearne, Padeloup, Payne, Simier, Cobden-Sanderson, and others are showcased, further revealing the beauty and skill of this art form. Fully illustrated in color, with specially commissioned studio photography, Beautiful Bookbindings provides a visual overview of the development of this splendid art form. The book focuses on the craft of hand-bookbinding that existed until the Victorian era when mass-produced trade bindings took over. Bookbinding as a craft form never disappeared, however, and the second half of the twentieth century saw a significant revival.
