Item description from seller

Oxford [U.K.] / Williamsburg, Virginia: The Plough Press / The Bookpress Ltd, 1984. NEW and unread. Still housed in the original cardboard shipping carton. NO chips. NO tears. NO creases. Sharp corners. NO owner's name or bookplate. Clean and unmarked. 1984. First Edition. A comprehensive bibliography of the history and technique of printmaking both for book illustration and separate prints with over 1,700 annotated entries of books and articles. Includes useful suggestions for a basic library. From the introduction: "The bibliography is classified under six broad headings - A Printmaking & picture printing in general; B Intaglio plate processes; C Relief block processes; D Planographic (lithographic) processes; E Photo-mechanical processes; F Periodicals consulted. Section E is subdivided according to photo-mechanical processes that correspond to sections A to D. In order to keep this work within reasonably handy proportions we have confined our annotations to selected works and have prefaced each section with some introductory notes which highlight 'key' works in that field. For less familiar processes we have also given an outline of the principal techniques and their development. Collations are kept to a minimum and text illustrations are not generally mentioned. Plates, however, are always noted and, in the happy event that they represent actual examples of graphic processes described, we have recorded their details. Two indexes conclude the work. One lists authors and all others who contributed to any publication, whether translators, editors, or even correspondents. The other is a subject index and includes contemporary names, patent titles, and popular terms for individual graphic processes, with cross-references from alternative terms. The structure of the index segregates the contemporary technical literature from subsequent historical studies. To assist those who are looking for examples of the many graphic processes the index provides, for each process, the sub-heading, 'specimens' (where they exist)." 8.75" wide by 11.25" tall. Bound in the original green cloth, stamped in bright gold on the spine. Complete with dust jacket and original shipping carton. First Edition. Oversize Hardcover. New/New DJ in publisher's box. 250pp. Great Packaging, Fast Shipping.

Store description

About Books [Genny and Michael Winne, proprietors, formerly of Parsippany, New Jersey) has been selling rare and out of print books since 1985. Besides book fairs and mail order catalogue, long-time collectors and dealers will remember our lengthy For Sale ads in the Antiquarian Bookman and similar magazines. Our inventory of more than 40,000 volumes is especially strong in the specialities listed, but contains fine books in a variety of other fields as well. Because most of our books are stored in protective boxes, rather than on shelves, they cannot be viewed as a whole. If you want to examine specific titles, please provide 24 hours notice and we will make them available for your inspection. Phone calls to (702) 750-2722 are welcome, but please only between the hours of 8am and 10pm, west coast time. Our phone is a landline that cannot receive texts.
