JOHN CARY ENGRAVER, MAP, CHART AND PRINT SELLER AND GLOBE MAKER 1754-1835; A BIBLIOGRAPHY.
Fordham, Herbert George
Facsimile edition of volume first published by Cambridge University Press in 1925. (Besterman 1169). A well-known English cartographer, John Cary began as an engraver in London and turned to publishing and land surveying in 1783. His New and Correct English Atlas appeared in 1787, followed by county atlases. The New Universal Atlas, for which he is best known, first appeared in 1808. Fordham, rightfully considered one of the century's foremost experts in the history of cartography, meticulously describes 300 of Cary's works. This title has always been hard to find. Though once reprinted, all copies are uncommon.

BRITISH PRIVATE PRESS PROSPECTUSES, 1891-2001.
by Butcher, David
Limited to 350 numbered copies of which this is one of the 260 bound thus. The development of the private press in Britain during the twentieth century is traced through this collection of prospectuses that come from both famous and not so famous publishers. As the books they represent become rarer and more expensive, the prospectuses, which can offer fascinating clues to the development of the titles they promote, are becoming collectible items themselves. Frontispiece is a wood-engraving by Eric Ravilious for the cover of the Golden Cockerel Press' Autumn List 1931. Includes 16 colored plates and three facsimile prospectuses inserted in a pocket in the back board.
