  (Plough Press) Wakeman, Geoffrey and Graham Pollard FUNCTIONAL DEVELOPMENTS IN BOOKBINDING.
New Castle, DE and Kidlington, England The Plough Press 1993 8vo. cloth, leather spine label. 96 pages with six tipped-in handmade facsimile samples of cloth bindings and 31 other illustrations in black and white.
Limited to 180 numbered copies of which this is one of the 125 cloth bound copies. Printed by hand by Paul Wakeman, the son of Geoffrey Wakeman, at the Plough Press. 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. Presentation from the printer, Paul Wakeman, on the limitation page.

An exhibition at the Grolier Club, 5 December 2012-2 February 2013. Curated by Florence Fearrington. New York The Grolier Club 2012 6 x 9 inches paperback 126 pages
The German term "Wunderkammer" refers to a room full of wondrous things, objects noteworthy for their beauty, or their rarity, or their curious nature, or their artistic, scholarly, or monetary value. Wunderkammers originated as private collections in the 16th century, and proliferated throughout the 17th and 18th centuries, but began to decline when a more systematic approach to the accumulation of natural and man-made objects gave rise to our modern museums of art, culture, and natural history. Published to accompany the exhibition "Rooms of Wonder: from Wunderkammer to Museum, 1599-1899," the book focuses on the beautiful and elaborately illustrated catalogues produced by collectors over three hundred years to celebrate their "cabinets of curiosities."

Introduction by Florence Fearrginton, followed by detailed descriptions for the nearly 140 items on show, most drawn from a private collection, with additional loans from the American Antiquarian Society, the Getty Research Institute Library, and Harvard and Johns Hopkins Universities. Includes index. Minion, Requiem, and Augustea Open types; designed by Jerry Kelly.

First edition, second printing with some corrections. The German term "Wunderkammer" refers to a room full of wondrous things, objects noteworthy for their beauty, or their rarity, or their curious nature, or their artistic, scholarly, or monetary value.

New Castle, Delaware Oak Knoll Press 1996 8vo. cloth, dust jacket, slipcase. Approx. 168 pages.
First edition. One of 350 special numbered and signed copies inserted in a cloth-covered slipcase. In their books OLD & RARE and BETWEEN BOARDS, these two grand ladies of the bookselling world, Leona Rostenberg and Madeleine B. Stern, recounted many of their stories and hard learned advice gleaned from decades in the book business. This newest volume records for the first time in detail their book buying trips abroad between 1947 and 1957. Drawn from their original diaries and letters of the time and augmented with contemporary recollections, this book renders with an unparalleled sense of immediacy the horrors and treasures to be found in postwar Europe. Visiting London in the late forties, these two scholar-booksellers found among the bombed blocks of buildings and queues for rationed food, some of the most illustrious names in bookselling, Clifford Maggs, E.P. Goldschmidt, and Ernest Weil. Deprived of food and spirit, Europe overflowed with bibliographic treasures waiting to be discovered by these two distinguished ladies and passed on to some of the most renowned libraries in the United States. Unknown works by Martin Luther, original editions of Giorgio Vasari, and countless other rarities from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries were purchased. Full of history and tales of books, this book is as perfect for the casual reader as it is for the sophisticated book collector. Loosely inserted is a lengthy review of this book written by Joel Silver. Spine of jacket faded.
