(Baskerville, John) Milton, John PARADISE LOST. A POEM IN TWELVE BOOKS and PARADISE REGAINED. A POEM IN FOUR BOOKS TO WHICH IS ADDED SAMSON AGONISTES AND POEMS UPON SEVERAL OCCASIONS.
2 volumes. Birmingham John Baskerville for J. and R. Tonson 1760 8vo. contemporary calf with gilt border; spines gilt with leather labels and raised bands; marbled pastedowns and free endpapers (xxiii), 416; lxxii, 390 pages
Printed by Baskerville for J. and R. Tonson (London), from the text of Thomas Newton, D.D., bishop of Bristol and a Milton scholar who had published an edition of Paradise Lost in 1749 (DNB XIV, 403-5). First volume includes a list of subscribers and introductory poems: In Paradisum Amissam (in Latin) by Samuel Barrow, M.D., and On Paradise Lost by Andrew Marvel. Also includes introductory comments on the verse and the argument. Second volume includes table of contents and a biography of Milton. According to F.E. Pardoe, this was Baskerville's third printing of Milton's works; two were previously published in 1758 and 1759 (Pardoe 169). See also Philip Gaskell, 24-7; 28-9. This edition was listed in the Public Advertiser (London) on May 14, 1760. Noteworthy are the gilt-roll on the bindings and the marbled endpapers. According to Diana Patterson, the Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce offered a premium for the manufacture of marbled paper in 1759. Although no premium was awarded until 1763, Baskerville was an entrant, and the front endpaper of this work is illustrated with Patterson's article on the subject (Patterson, "John Baskerville, Marbler," in The Library s6-12 (3), 1990, 212-21). Previous owner's name inscribed on endpaper of both volumes. Front joint of first volume cracked, rubbing at edges. Gilt on spines dulled. Foxing. Copy of Patterson article laid in.

(Bird & Bull Press) Berger, Sid ANATOMY OF A LITERARY HOAX.
New Castle, DE Oak Knoll Books 1994 8vo. stiff paper wrappers. 17, (3) pages.
First edition, limited to 300 numbered copies of which this is one of 250 bound in paper. Printed letterpress by Henry Morris at his Bird & Bull Press. This strange but true tale started in 1979 when Henry Morris added an invented reference book to the lengthy list of cited reference books printed in the back of NAGASHIZUKI, a book authored by Timothy Barrett and printed by Henry Morris. It took five years for the author and Sid Berger to finally notice this bit of Morris humor. The conspiracy began! Morris was shown a photocopy of an actual title page (in reality done in type by Paul Duensing) that showed that the book actually existed. Morris was taken in hook, line and sinker. But the story continues: you must read it to see how! With tipped-in wine label, book covers, and photograph of a papermill that became part of the story. Extra wine label printed by Henry Morris loosely inserted in the back. And you thought the Fortsas Hoax was interesting!

New Castle Oak Knoll Books 1990 8vo. cloth, printed paper over boards, leather spine label, in a larger slipcase with a separate portfolio containing a piece of Robeson handmade paper. 90, (2) pages.
First edition, limited to 180 copies of which this is one of the 35 special copies bound thus and containing a folded piece of original Robeson handmade paper with watermark referred to in the text as "exhibiting the typical characteristics of handmade stock produced in the middle or late 1830s, when many American mills had already adopted mass production methods." The watermark and countermark in this paper are also reproduced as illustrations. Editor John Bidwell has located the first known account of hand papermaking to define American practice in relation to its European heritage. This text first appeared in James Cutbush's The American Artist's Manual (Philadelphia: 1814) and has been reprinted, including an original sample of Gilpin machine-made paper. A lengthy and well-researched introduction by John Bidwell examines the early history of papermaking in America, the English and French sources used by Cutbush, and the specific American papermaking techniques. The introduction has been printed by Henry Morris of the Bird & Bull Press on Frankfurt paper. The facsimile reprint has been printed by lithography and the book has been bound by Campbell-Logan Bindery.
