A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF PRINTING.
Bigmore, E.C. and C.W.H. Wyman

In the long and distinguished history of bibliographical scholarship, few works stand equal to E.C. Bigmore and C.W.H. Wyman's monumental classic, A Bibliography of Printing. The original three volumes were published from 1880 to 1886 by the famed British bookman and publisher, Bernard Quaritch. Quickly recognized as a treasure house of information on books dealing with publishing and the printing arts, this ground-breaking catalogue quickly established itself as the premier bibliography in its field. A new introduction has been written by Henry Morris of Bird & Bull Press. Beautifully illustrated, with hundreds of original woodcuts depicting portraits, printers' marks, topographical scenes, and foliated initials graced many of its thousand-plus pages. Unlike many of its unannotated predecessors, Bigmore and Wymans analytical descriptions give a unique and strong-willed voice to this well-researched book. The original work contained one major drawback: it lacked a comprehensive index. This edition has corrected this oversight. Reprint of the 1880/82/86 three-volume edition with a comprehensive index. Co-published with The British Library.
