ANNALS OF AMERICAN BOOKSELLING, 1638-1850
Boynton, Henry Walcott
Reprint of the first edition, with a new introduction by Joseph Rosenblum. This work first appeared in 1932 to celebrate the 125th anniversary of its publisher, John Wiley and Sons. Boynton was interested in the colorful figures that populated the book world of early America and tells their fascinating story in an entertaining manner. His account begins with the establishment of the Cambridge Press in Massachusetts Bay in 1638 and ends in 1850, by which time the production and distribution of the book had entered the modern age. This is one of the best accounts of early American bookselling, printing and publishing.

AN ACCOUNT OF AN ESSAY ON THE ORIGIN OF A NATURAL PAPER, ...
by Strange, John
An important early comment on the literature of alternative raw materials for papermaking by the English diplomatist and traveller, John Strange (1732-1799) (See No.14 in An Exhibition of Books on Papermaking from the Collection of Leonard B. Schlosser, 1969). This essay appears to contain additional material to Strange's exceedingly rare original contribution to the subject: 'Letter on the origin of the natural paper of Cortona ' (Pisa, 1764). The engraved plate shows various alternative papermaking materials.
