Reprinted from the Proceedings of the American Antiquarian Society Volume 117 Worcester American Antiquarian Society 2008 6 x 9 inches paperback 162 pages
The topic of this new book from the American Antiquarian Society is printing in New England in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century. More specifically, the author focuses on three printers who were active during that period: Nathaniel Coverly, Sr.; Nathaniel Coverly, Jr.; and Joseph White. Through a close examination of the bibliographical evidence, she demonstrates the extent of the production by the two Coverlys and White to the reading material available to adults and children in New England over more than fifty years.
The introduction provides a brief historical summary and an outline of the text that follows. Biographical descriptions of the Coverlys and Joseph White, as well as checklists of their works are included. There are approximately twenty grayscale images throughout the text. An index makes quick referencing possible. Distributed for the American Antiquarian Society.

  Kelly, Jerry GOTTHARD DE BEAUCLAIR: ART AND LITERATURE THROUGH TYPOGRAPHY AND DESIGN
With an Introduction by Hermann Zapf New York The Typophiles 2006 6 x 9 inches paperback 48 pages
Born in 1907, Gotthard de Beauclair spent most of his life learning about calligraphy, printing, typography, and book design. With his expertise and skillful technique, he produced some of the finest examples of limited edition books. Even now, his work stands as a model for superior bookmaking.

This catalogue includes an Introduction by Hermann Zapf and a brief history of de Beauclair's work as a student, typographer, designer, and bookmaker. It lists his endeavors at the Insel Verlag, the Stempel Typefoundry, various publishers, the Trajanus Presse, and others. A section of illustrations is also included. The book was set in Aldus, a typeface designed by Hermann Zapf (Gotthard de Beauclair was also instrumental in the font's conception).

While the leading book designer in Gernmany, Beauclair is not as well known in the United States. Many presses in Germany and around the world have given up the tradition of printing from metal type by letterpress. Run now as industrial companies, publishing companies are often merged focusing on mass production over quality. This book brings to light the typographic work used in Beauclair's exceptional publications in hopes of demonstrating that fine editions can still be produced today in exquisite detail, even despite the ever-growing technologies.

  (Kelmscott Press) Peterson, William S. and Sylvia Holton Peterson THE KELMSCOTT CHAUCER: A CENSUS.
New Castle, Delaware Oak Knoll Press 2011 8.5 x 11 inches hardcover, dust jacket 280 pages
When William Morris founded the Kelmscott Press, his celebrated private press, in 1891, one of the books he intended to print was an edition of the writings of Geoffrey Chaucer. Because of its size and complexity, The Works of Geoffrey Chaucer did not emerge from the press until June 1896, shortly before Morris's death. Even at the time of publication, there was almost universal recognition that it was the most ambitious and remarkable book produced in the nineteenth century. Morris himself designed the type, initials, and borders. His old friend Sir Edward Burne-Jones created the eighty-seven wood-engraved illustrations, and the book was printed on a hand-press with ink, paper, and vellum made to Morris' exact specifications.

According to Sydney Cockerell, the second Secretary of the Kelmscott Press, Morris printed 425 copies of the Chaucer book on paper and thirteen on vellum. This Census locates and describes as many of those books (which are now scattered all over the world) as possible and reconstructs their complicated history of ownership, supplying a narrative of the fortunes of each known copy that came off the press in 1896. New information about unlocated copies, copies that have been sold by book dealers and auction houses, and the binders who have subsequently rebound many of the copies is also included. Three substantial appendices record the copies sold by Bernard Quaritch (the London bookseller most closely associated with the production of the Chaucer), the mailing list of the Kelmscott Press, and other unpublished contemporary documents.

William S. Peterson (Professor of English Emeritus, University of Maryland) has written extensively about the Kelmscott Press and other aspects of fine printing in Britain and America. He is currently the editor of Printing History, the journal of the American Printing History Association. Sylvia Holton Peterson (Professor of English Emerita, University of the District of Columbia) is a medievalist and the co-author (with Jackson Campbell Boswell) of Chaucer's Fame in England: STC Chauceriana, 1475-1540 (2004).

  (Kentucky) Pierson, Roscoe M. A PRELIMINARY CHECKLIST OF LEXINGTON, KY., IMPRINTS 1821-1850.
Charlottesville, VA Bibliographical Society of the University of Virginia 1953 small 4to. stapled stiff paper wrappers (ii), 155+(1) pages
Printed in an edition limited to 300 mimeographed copies. This list of 523 entries is limited to printed books and pamphlets, with the exception of a few handbills and broadsides, bearing the imprint of a Lexington printer, publisher, or bookseller, and to those bearing no imprint, that were probably issued by Lexington presses. Also included are books and pamphlets printed in Lexington but published for another locality. Lexington was chosen because it was the site of the first printing press in operation in the state, probably remaining the center of printing until it was surpassed by Louisville in the late 1820s. Wrappers wrinkled and slightly soiled.
