GREEK PHILOSOPHICAL EDITIONS IN THE FIRST CENTURY OF PRINTING.
Staikos, Konstantinos Sp.
The reader is treated to a majestic array of rare, early Greek editions illustrated by their title pages and often with portraits of their authors. The exhibition was displayed at the International Conference on Greek Books held at the European Cultural Center of Delphi, Greece in May, 2001. Mr. Staikos' extensive research into the books of the Greek Diaspora, his passion for the subject and the many editions from his personal collection make up this unique labor of love. The text is in English and Greek, printed in color. Distributed for Kotinos Editions. Presentation from the author. Boards soiled. Some bumping to the edges, corners and spine ends.

ANNOTATED DICTIONARY OF FORE-EDGE PAINTING ARTISTS & BIND...
by Weber, Jeff
Limited Edition of 1,000 copies, designed and typeset by Patrick Reagh, and printed photo-offset under his supervision. Signed by the author. This is the most important contribution to fore-edge painting history in over 40 years. The text contains the first comprehensive annotated dictionary to contain the identification of all known fore-edge painters and binders. The book is sure to become the authoritative resource for fore-edge painting identification. The book is profusely illustrated with color reproductions. Containing two parts, the first will appeal to everyone with an interest in fore-edge painting: a comprehensive annotated and illustrated dictionary of every artist and binder known to make and sign fore-edge paintings. This includes some additional binders and artists whose work can be grouped and identified, as well as some binders who are suspect and possibly never made fore-edge paintings. An attempt is made to prove the work of every person and to give numerous examples. Included also is the most comprehensive assessment of seventeenth century English fore-edge specimens up to the present.
The other part is a full history of the mysterious Ms C. B. Currie, one of the most important fore-edge artists from England in the twentieth century and the only artist to have numbered her editions. This project was challenging since no record of her entire fore-edge work exists and her own identity has been unknown until recently.
Jeff Weber is recognized as the foremost authority on the history of fore-edge paintings as a result of collecting, study, lectures and articles.
