  (Incunabula) Goff, Frederick R. INCUNABULA IN AMERICAN LIBRARIES, A SUPPLEMENT TO THE THIRD CENSUS OF FIFTEENTH-CENTURY BOOKS RECORDED IN NORTH AMERICAN COLLECTIONS (1964).
New York The Bibliographical Society of America 1972 tall 8vo. cloth. xii, 104 pages.
This supplement is essential to anyone possessing the THIRD CENSUS OF INCUNABULA IN AMERICAN LIBRARIES which was published in 1964. According to Frederick R. Goff, despite the publication of the THIRD CENSUS, new acquisitions and changes in ownership were being reported at an astonishing rate prior to this date. A table included in the introduction to the THIRD CENSUS shows that 3,560 additions alone were made in 1971 compared to 11,956 entries made between the years 1940 and 1964. As a result, roughly much more than one-third of the estimated output of the printing presses operating in the fifteenth century was now available for research in America.
Though Goff admits that some books, those found in the stock
of American antiquarian booksellers' stock may have been returned to Europe, he asserts that it is safe to say that the total number in American ownership is far in excess of 50,000 and that probably less than one percent of the incunabula in American ownership have escaped the dragnet of the three previous Censuses and this supplement.
Goff has taken the opportunity in this supplement to correct
a number of errors and misprints found in the previous Censuses. He states that his methodology is quite simple. For corrections in authorship, title-entry or imprint, the present THIRD CENSUS number is cited followed by an "N.B:," which furnishes additional or revised information. Additional references or corrections to earlier citations follow the abbreviation "Ref:." New copies or changes in ownership follow the abbreviation "Cop:," using the symbols of the 1964 CENSUS or new ones found in the supplementary register of owners not previously recorded. For a number of dealers who reported only one or two titles, their full names appear since Goff decided not to include them in the register of owners. When a registrant has added or disposed of a second copy or has acquired additional volumes of multi-volume set, the owner's initials are given and the revised information is given in parenthesis following immediately afterwards.
This supplement together with the 1964 Census now stands as a
more accurate and reliable record. In a Postscript added to this supplement's introduction, Goff writes of additional reports that bring the total number of incunabula up to 51,147, incrementing the previous number by 397, which are incorporated in this supplement. Edge of cover and book block bumped along back cover.

  Johnson, Arthur W. THE REPAIR OF CLOTH BINDINGS.
New Castle, DE Oak Knoll Press 2002 8vo. cloth, dust jacket 140 pages
First edition, second printing. One of the leading designer bookbinders in Great Britain, Arthur Johnson has used his extensive knowledge of book construction to provide a reference manual for the repair and reconstruction of cloth bindings. Each process is explained in precise detail with clear text in order to give the worker confidence in this exacting skill. Using more than 90 illustrations, drawn by the author himself, Johnson explains his procedures for sound repair that he has developed over many decades. Johnson's ability to instruct and teach bookbinders, conservationists, and students of binding history is exceptional. He has written four other manuals on binding that are considered classics and The Repair of Cloth Bindings should be no exception. Included in this work is a brief but comprehensive history of cloth as a binding material from its early use in handwork to complete automation. Arthur W Johnson A.T.D., N.D.D., C & G L.I. is also a Honorary Fellow of Designer Bookbinders, Honorary Fellow of the Institute of Craft Education and Patron of the A.B.C.

New Castle and Wilmington Oak Knoll Press and Cedar Tree Books 1999 8vo. cloth, dust jacket. xvi, 303+(1) pages.
First edition. This long-awaited biography brings to life the remarkable printer, politician and sage, Everett Johnson. Inspired by the work of Elbert Hubbard's Roycrofters, Johnson established the indomitable Press of Kells in Newark, Delaware. The fortress-like stone building that became home to the "Newark Post" still stands, and as of 1999, this lively paper celebrates its 90th year. For the next generation, through his books, newspaper articles, and public service, he struggled to champion a series of social causes and became known as the "Conscience of Delaware." This very readable book includes Robert Barnes' comprehensive bibliography of Johnson's works.
