  Myers, Robin and Michael Harris (editors) GENIUS FOR LETTERS: BOOKSELLERS & BOOKSELLING FROM THE SIXTEENTH TO THE TWENTIETH CENTURIES
Winchester & New Castle, DE St Paul's Bibliographies & Oak Knoll Press 1995 8vo. printed paper over boards. 188 pages.
By the mid-eighteenth century bookselling was established as the key factor in the book business. On the one hand, booksellers were at the center of the interlocking range of associated activities involved in the manufacture and distribution of a multi-form product. On the other hand, they helped to shape the consumption of print in the market, responding to and guiding the taste of readers as customers.
Printers, binders, authors, and readers never achieved the corporate force and solidarity of the booksellers who, in England, early on dominated the London Stationers' Company. It was as `publishers' in its increasingly specialist sense of the marketing and distribution of texts, that this commercial sector acquired its authority in the long term. As the owners of valuable copyrights the leading London booksellers laid the foundation of a commercial interest which was never seriously challenged.
The contributors to this volume unravel some of the complexities of the trade organized by business people working at different times and different places but all pursuing what might be called the logic of the market place through the sale of books. Topics include booksellers and bookbinders by Anthony Hobson; Italian bookselling in the eighteenth century by Luigi Balsamo; booksellers and bookshops in late seventeenth-century London by Giles Mandlebrote; and circulating libraries, booksellers and book clubs 1870-1966 by Simon Eliot. Head of spine bumped. Spot on free endpaper.

  Myers, Robin, Michael Harris and Giles Mandelbrote (editors) BOOKS FOR SALE: THE ADVERTISING AND PROMOTION OF PRINT SINCE THE FIFTEENTH CENTURY.
New Castle, Delaware Oak Knoll Press and The British Library 2009 6 x 9 inches hardcover, dust jacket 208 pages
Advertising and promotion have always underpinned the business of bookselling but are often difficult for the historian to reconstruct. Once books were being produced in multiple copies, the book trade invested time, money, and imagination in the attempt to stimulate demand, manipulate customer choice, and expand the market. The mixed uses of marketing, both as product information and as an expression of trade identity and commercial rivalries, offer a glimpse at trade practices and the circumstances of individual careers.

This volume of eight original essays, with contributions by specialists in the promotion and marketing of print, as well as by leading historians of the book, explores themes that include the advertising and marketing techniques of booksellers and publishers across early modern Europe, the increasing use of newspaper and periodical advertisements in England and Ireland during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, and the dramatic impact of online marketing on the book trade. Other promotional tools discussed here range from the illustrated trade cards of eighteenth-century Paris to the rise of the book jacket and the cult of literary prizes in the twentieth century.Co-published with The British Library.

  Myers, Robin, Michael Harris and Giles Mandelbrote, eds. MUSIC AND THE BOOK TRADE FROM THE SIXTEENTH TO THE TWENTIETH CENTURY.
New Castle, Delaware and London, England Oak Knoll Press and The British Library 2008 6 x 9 inches hardcover with dust jacket 240 pages
The history of music printing and publishing has generally formed a self-contained area of research within the study of book history. Bibliographers and book historians have tended to overlook the trade in printed music, partly because the means of production (reproducing notation rather than letter forms) and of distribution (often through the specialist sellers of musical instruments and equipment) were themselves distinct. On the other hand, musicologists have until recently paid less attention to the commercial aspects of printed music, concentrating more on the technicalities of composition and performance.

The original contributions contained in this newest addition to the Publishing Pathways series map some of the common ground between music and other forms of print, exploring the ways in which the organization of production and the process of publication of printed music have developed over time. From the production and sale of missals in Renaissance Spain to the complexities of Gustav Mahlers copyrights in late nineteenth-century Vienna, these essays raise issues and demonstrate methods of approach that will be of wider relevance to many areas of book history. How composers and publishers worked out their respective financial interests is just one of the recurring themes which will strike a chord with those who study the business of print. Co-published with The British Library. Available in the UK from The British Library.
