  Herrmann, Frank THE ENGLISH AS COLLECTORS
New Castle Oak Knoll Press 1999 tall 8vo. cloth, dust jacket. 509 pages.
Reprint of the original edition, with corrections and a lengthy new introduction. This book is a unique and important source of information for those interested in the history of famous collections. Not only is the importance of collecting a growing factor in the history of art and antiques, but the details of provenance of objects traded on the art and antiques market are vital. In effect, the author has gone to the most revealing sources to produce a history of collecting in England and a study of the gradual emergence of the museum as a national institution.
ENGLISH AS COLLECTORS also offers interesting and compelling insight into the private lives of great collectors whose acquisitions became the nucleus of the foremost museums of Great Britain. Through 96 rare illustrations and 75 collector profiles, Herrmann goes behind the scenes to capture the drive, enthusiasm, and eccentricities of these patrons of the arts. In addition, this revised and expanded edition contains a useful and detailed bibliography of collecting history.
Since its first publication, ENGLISH AS COLLECTORS has become a classic in its field, and the first edition is now highly sought after. No other publication with so much detail has appeared to rival Herrmann's pioneering work. This volume is kept as a ready reference by those entrusted with the care of major private and public collections as well as those who organize exhibitions. This new edition has been issued because of continuing demand, and the author has contributed a well-written new introduction, brilliantly summarizing the state of private and "official" collecting today.
Frank Herrmann is a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries, and
the author of a Sotheby's history: SOTHEBY'S: PORTRAIT OF AN AUCTION HOUSEand THE NORTON-SIMON MUSEUM.

  Hinks, John and Catherine Armstrong (editors) BOOK TRADE CONNECTIONS FROM THE SEVENTEENTH TO THE TWENTIETH CENTURIES.
Delivered at the Twenty-second Conference on the History of the British Book Trade Birmingham, July 2005 New Castle, Delaware and London, England Oak Knoll Press and The British Library 2008 6 x 9 inches Hardcover, dust jacket. 281 pages
First edition. This ninth volume of the Print Networks series contains twelve exciting chapters from scholars working on the connections between the parties involved in the production of print artifacts; from author to printer, publisher, bookseller and reader. Chronologically, the offerings range from the seventeenth to the twentieth century as they track the developing trade in England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland. Publishers and readers who spent part of their lives in North America are also featured in several of the chapters. The main theme emerging from this volume is the significance of cheap print, including newspapers and journals. The social, cultural, political and economic significance of these artifacts is highlighted by an in-depth examination of the lives of those men and women who participated in the book trade. Co-published with The British Library.

Available in the UK from The British Library.

This collection of essays clearly reflects the book-trade history and is a lively engagement with other historical approaches: cultural, social, economic and intellectual. Edited by John Hinks and Catherine Armstrong to noted scholars in this field. Co-published with the British Library. Available in the UK from The British Library.
