$39.95
First edition. catalogue of an exhibition. This study of the manufacture, selection and use of the papers that Turner worked on during the latter half of his career is also an introduction to the depths of that knowledge and experience. It charts the constantly developing relationship between his often very imaginative techniques and the grounds he worked on. It documents his complex responses to the rapid changes and increasing sophistication of the design and production of papers for artists. The focus of this second volume are the years 1820-1851. Late in his life, Turner, on being asked for his advice on painting, brought a lifetime of experience, years of both conscious and absorbed understanding to his deceptively simple reply. With one or two exceptions, there is very little direct evidence of Turner's actual thoughts or feelings about paper other than the papers themselves, where his actual use of individual papers is perhaps the most eloquent testimony we could have. The paper is never merely a ground to carry an image but is always an integral part of the work, from the slightest, speediest pencil sketch to the most highly finished watercolor. Turner's understanding of the interplay of a surface and the marks made on it is a crucial part of the actual visual effect of the work.

Three separate essays which provide a fascinating study of English trade binding from the sixteenth century to the mid-nineteenth century. In "Illustrations of English Trade Bindings of the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries," Geoffrey Wakeman describes what an ordinary book of the period looked like. Pollard's essay "Changes in the Style of Bookbinding, 1550-1830" originally appeared in "The Library" in 1956. The third article is again by Wakeman and is entitled "Bookbinding Styles in the Loughborough and Ashby-de-la-Zouch Parish Libraries." This article is based on illustrated slide lectures Wakeman gave while teaching at Loughborough and was meant to demonstrate to students the changes in binding style over the period covered in Pollard's article. These slides are reproduced as plates which are contained in a pocket in the back of the book.

$135.00
Thirty-seventh biennial publication of the students and teachers of the trade school of the International Printing Pressmen and Assistants' Union of NA at Pressmens' Home, TN. This includes twenty-five short articles by representatives of labor organizations, presidents of printing and paper companies, newspaper editors and the like, discussing issues and developments in printing and the printing profession, and eight pages (seven illustrated) on the Pressmens' Home (all on rather elaborately bordered pages). The bulk of this publication consists, however, of black and white advertisements, relatively simple ones designed by students, and more elaborate illustrated ones, probably using some materials supplied by the advertisers. There are also an additional twenty-two full-page color plates, some of them "art" printings produced from supplied engraved plates as a printing exercise, and some examples of early color advertising, in which the amount of content supplied by students and teachers is not specified (typesetting and composition?). This yearbook-type publication represents advertising printing as taught in the mid-20's, when printers still might design advertisements themselves but more and more printed the productions of graphic artists and designers, while the "concept approach" to advertising was not yet a concept. May interest students of the history of advertising, commercial illustration, the printing and paper industries, or the printing profession. Multicolor relief printing on front cover. Wrappers creased and worn around edges, lightly chipped, small tears along inside edge of front cover, binding somewhat loose.

$175.00
In 1907 David McNeely Stauffer's two-volume set of AMERICAN ENGRAVERS UPON COPPER AND STEEL was published in a limited edition of 350 copies. This pioneer work provided biographical sketches and a checklist of the works of over seven hundred American engravers. Little had previously been written about this subject, as the great majority of early American engravers were relatively obscure men and often the only record of their existence as engravers was the few impressions of a plate accidentally preserved. Stauffer's work was based on the prints themselves - their signatures, dates and publishers - and he realized there were omissions. In 1917 Mantle Fielding, who had corresponded with Stauffer and seen many of his notes, published a supplement in a numbered, limited edition of 220 copies. Stauffer's and Fielding's works on American Engravers are well indexed for engravers and partly indexed for subjects. However, engravers are for the most part only copyists; they reproduce on copper, steel or stone the work of another. Much valuable information as to the identity of the painters of early portraits can be obtained from examining engraved copies. Thus in 1920 Thomas Hovey Gage added an Artist Index to these important volumes. This reprint is the first time these four scarce volumes have appeared together as a set. When the noted dealer in Americana, William Reese, was informed of this project he commented "The pioneering works of Stauffer and Fielding have remained vital references for those interested in early American engraving, printing, and book illustration. For many years the original editions of 1907 and 1917 have been all but unobtainable, and these lacked the vital index separately published in 1920. Oak Knoll Books has done scholars, collectors and librarians a great service by making them available in what may properly be styled a `second, and best, edition'."

Issued as Vol.III, Parts 1&2 (Vol.I, France 875-1420, 1989; Vol.II, France 1420-1540, 1992) cataloguing the monumental Western illuminated manuscripts in the Walters Art Gallery collection.

Like the 237 French manuscripts in the earlier catalogues, this component features a majority of books for private devotion, reflecting Henry Walter's personal taste and his awareness that in these regions such typically richly illuminated texts were more avidly sought after than any other type of book from the 13th century to the end of manuscript era in the early 16th century. "The examples described here show women as an active force in the development of this leading sector of the book trade notably characterized in the 15th century by accelerated production techniques, stylistic interchange, and expanded market strategies" (preface). Contents includes a list of manuscripts and illustrations, concordances, format of entries, Part 1/catalogue entries 214-270, Part 2/catalogue entries 271-298, bibliography, indexes.

First edition. "Although the thesis and examples in this volume were first tested in May 1989 by the reactions of the bibliographical specialists from Oxford and London who regularly attend the James P.R. Lyell Lectures in Bibliography, they are as much concerned with English poetry, the theory and practice of editing literary texts, and the theory of literary criticism as they are with the history of production, classification, and bibliographical description of modern manuscripts as artifacts." The nature and function of three classes of manuscript--the "private" or personal, the "confidential" or corporate, and the "public" are discussed in detail. Includes a discussion on Paul de Man's reading of Shelley's "The Triumph of Life," and much more.

First edition. The dynamic-duo of New York's antiquarian book scene have written a unique and interesting series of essays on the creation of new fields of book collecting. With hard-won authority the authors share with their readers their extraordinary careers that span more than fifty years. Rostenberg & Stern were pioneers in cultivating interests in such diverse fields as Feminism, Judaica, Black Culture and Utopia. We empathize with the wonder and excitement of the authors as countless rare and beautiful books pass through their hands. We learn the byzantine and unspoken "rules of the game" of the rare book trade, and how - in the mid-1940s - two young Jewish girls broke into the male-dominated field of antiquarian book selling by specializing in new and unchartered fields. NEW WORLDS IN OLD BOOKSis a must read for any bibliophile. With bookplate.

998. Rota, Anthony. APART FROM THE TEXT. New Castle, Delaware and Pinner, Middlesex, England: Oak Knoll Press & Private Libraries Association, 1998, small 8vo., cloth, dust jacket. 253 pages.
$35.00
First edition. This book is an exploration of what the physical appearance of 19th- and 20th-century books can teach us, not only about the history of publishing but also about economic and social history and the career of authorship. It examines changes in binding styles from boards through cloth to paperbacks, noting trends in design, and studying the inception and subsequent virtual extinction of pictorial cloth bindings. It follows the evolution of the dust-jacket from simple protective wrapping to elaborate artifact. Changes in publishing practice come under review, as do the effects of two world wars on book production. Comparisons are drawn between English and American treatment of specific titles.
The intention of this book is to give insight into
bibliographical matters, which will not only be of help in textual, critical, and biographical study, but above all, it will give them added pleasure as they take a book from the shelf and open it - even before they begin to read. In short, this work is about what books offer "apart from the text."
The author goes back to earlier works and as far back as the
cradle of printing. He shows how economic factors influenced practice, and especially how 19th-century industrial changes and the advent of steam-power affected the natural order of composing, printing and binding of books. In actual practice, mechanization first came to presswork, binding, and then lastly to composing type. However, one will want to recognize that despite these changes, hand-printing was the most efficient technique for producing considerable quantities of books, so efficient that little of truly revolutionary change occurred between 1455 and 1955, when publishing saw the advent of filmsetting and other related wonders.

$21.95
First Edition, of this collection of essays. "Rothenberg and company read the book as metaphor for aesthetic framing devices, but they also read frames as metaphoric books. In a series of exemplary essays on, and demonstrations of, what might be called the ethnopoetics of the book, books from a wide range of cultural traditions are portrayed as radical extenders of form rather than neutral vessels of content. The result is a vision of books as laboratories for the invention and performance of perceptual systems: new worlds carved out of the wilderness of human thought and language."

This first edition is the most comprehensive bibliography of the works of British/Canadian poet-author Robert W. Service (1874-1958). As a young man, Service migrated to north-western Canada from his native Britain. The exuberant people and magnificent scenery of British Columbia and the Yukon filled him with an ebullient enthusiasm which was reflected and captured in his early poetry and his later novels. Beginning with his "Songs of a Sourdough" in 1907 to his "Songs of the High North," published in 1959, Service wrote a prodigious stream of poems and rough, frontier literature. In this well-researched and scholarly bibliography, Peter Mitham has produced a welcomed bibliography of the works of Robert W. Service.

The final chapter focuses on the craft renaissance in India and includes a list of Indian handmade papermakers, recipes, methods, fibre list, bibliography, and a map. Anthropologist and papermaker, Alexandra Soteriou, began a continuous exploration of India's paper legacy in 1985.

Awarded a gold medal by the ALA as one of the best academic books published in 1999, Gift of Conquerors creates a rich historic picture not seen before. Illustrated with more than 200 color photographs.

$30.00
First edition. The second half of the 18th century was a period of renewed vigor and craftsmanship in the Spanish book trade. After two centuries of stagnation, Spanish printers began to produce significant quantities of competent work. Once more there were Spaniards who could match the art of any printer in Europe. King Charles III became a significant factor in the book trade renaissance, and his interest was expressed through his concerns and policies, which fostered a general and pervasive improvement in the trade. This is study of the early years of the Royal Company of Printers and Booksellers of Spain, which exemplifies the liberal economic politics of such officials as Pedro Rodriguez, Conde de Campomanes.
There are major sections on The Company and the Book Trade and
Internal Operation followed by appendices listing book trade personnel and information on expenditure and production.

Later sections list editions of every genre from 1806 to 1833, the final magnum opus in full, and everything from Scott's legal papers to tributes and dedications.

$39.95
The Memory of Mankind is an illustrated history of the unique role libraries have played in the history of civilization. As an institution, the library has survived the fall of empires and the follies of man and nature. Don Heinrich Tolzmann took the classic, German-language work The History of Libraries by Alfred Hessel (published 1925 and translated by Reuben Peiss in 1950) and expanded it with additional text to cover the important past 75 years. Tolzmann also completely rewrote the first chapter due to the discovery of many clay tablet libraries in the ancient Middle East, thus expanding our library history knowledge back another 5,000 years. A student of history will find The Memory of Mankind is a well-researched and well-written review of one of man's most ancient institutions.

$35.00
This bibliography documents the career of the Village Press with meticulous detail and insight. In a short memoir at the beginning of this book Frederic W. Goudy gives an account of a printers life that is certain to be familiar to anyone who has experienced the "fun and fury" of a private press. The section from the diary of Will Ransom, co-founder of the press, gives some idea of the magnitude of the initial problems that were encountered. Despite these difficulties the press still produced books that were an able tribute to William Morris, in many ways Goudy's chief inspiration in book design. However the press was no mere imitation of the Kelmscott Press - in the years of its operation it forged a style that was distinctly Goudy's. Frederic W. Goudy was one of the most influential type designers of the twentieth century. His influence on advertising art and book design was considerable and he became an arbiter of typographic taste for an entire generation between the Wars. Part of the reason for this success lay with his practical knowledge of the problems of designer and printer. Much of this expertise was gained through the Village Press. This book was originally published in 1938 in a limited edition of only 260 copies.

$55.00
First edition. The book forgery of Thomas James Wise, disclosed in 1934 in John Carter and Graham Pollard's An Enquiry into the Nature of Certain Nineteenth Century Pamphlets is perhaps the most notorious literary scandal of this century. Wise, a bibliographer and book collector with the highest international reputation, was revealed to be the perpetrator of a stream of forgeries of minor works by major nineteenth-century authors which had appeared on the market from the 1880s onwards.
The sensational exposure of Wise led to further discoveries, most notably that he had acted not alone but in collusion with Harry Buxton Forman, the distinguished editor of Keats and Shelley. The extent of the crime was clearly wider and more complicated than had been supposed when the Enquiry was first published. Carter and Pollard were steadily compiling matter for a new edition of the book right up to their deaths in the mid-1970s. Their material passed to Nicolas Barker who, with John Collins, undertook to complete the work. They in turn discovered a mass of new facts: the forgeries began earlier than suspected, the problems of Tennyson's The New Timon and R. L. Stevenson's Ticonderoga were solved and, for the first time, an attempt was made to reconstruct the crime. There was, however, still more work to be done. In their prologue to A Sequel to An Enquiry, Barker and Collins concluded by stating "Finally, we have tried, well knowing that there is more to be discovered and much that may never be discoverable, to reconstruct the crime and the part each man played in it." Now John Collins has written the final chapter in this account of one of the strangest and subtlest literary frauds ever attempted. The Two Forgers provides a detailed analysis of the lives and careers of Wise and Forman. It explains how they joined forces, traces the course of their conspiracy and provides a step-by-step account of the sensational unmasking of the plot. The biographical nature of this scholarly work provides a fresh new approach to these forgeries and is more readable than the detailed, empirical-facts approach of An Enquiry and A Sequel to An Enquiry. In addition, The Two Forgers is profusely illustrated throughout and contains more of the correspondence between Wise and Forman, thereby supplementing the letters reproduced in A Sequel.

$150.00
Emblem books were popular in the seventeenth and eighteenth century, when their emblems, or allegorical pictures, made ethical or religious teachings accessible to all. This emblem book, published in association with the Museum of American Folk Art and the Pennsylvania German Society, is the work of Ludwig Denig and is unusual in that he was a layman and a Protestant. His Picture-Bible is a work of unique character and beauty, combining the calligraphic art of fraktur and the naive charm of biblical characters dressed in eighteenth-century clothing, in a Palestinian world that resembles the artist's native Pennsylvania. Volume I discusses the artist and his world, and the book and its sources; Volume II is devoted to plates reproducing the entire Picture-Bible in gorgeous color.
