These essays open possible research proposals by students and scholars, ensuring the vitality of bibliography in to the next century. These collections provide a landmark, taking stock of developments in a vast and vital area of study, and maps out its future parameters.

Isaac, Peter and Barry McKay (editors). THE REACH OF PRINT, MAKING, SELLING AND USING BOOKS.
New Castle, Delaware & Winchester, England Oak Knoll Press & St. Paul's Bibliographies 1998 small 8vo. Hardback printed covers. 230 pages.
First edition. Second volume of the series PRINT NETWORKS. More than a century has passed since W. H. Allnut's paper on provincial printing was presented at the meeting of the Library Association in 1878. This topic has now moved to the forefront of investigating the history of the book. The annual Seminar on the British Book Trade has been steadily developing the depth and breadth of its interests, encompassing the contemporary social, economic, educational, and cultural climates in which booksellers, printers, and their fellows operated.
Even today, few booksellers can support themselves solely by the sale of books. In the earlier days, this was even more true, and so they engaged in a wide range of trades, including selling stationery, printing, and the sale of nostrums. Newspapers were also important sources of income, since their distribution networks were essential to the proprietors' survival. For much of the population, street literature was particularly significant. Two aspects of these ephemera - their contribution to the "oral tradition," and their crude illustrations - are explored here. The last three papers deal with the fact that we have so much printed matter to study is partly due to predecessors who formed libraries for their own use or for a wider readership. All these themes and more are included and explored in this work.

Myers, Robin PIONEERS IN BIBLIOGRAPHY.
New Castle, Delaware and Winchester Oak Knoll Press and St. Paul's Bibliographies 1996 8vo. paper over boards. 117 pages.
Reprint of the first edition. As the written output of European culture has continued to expand and diversify, the need to establish controls of the materials has also increased. The listing, description and analysis of texts, whether in manuscript or print, have engaged a long series of individuals in what can only be described as a heroic struggle. These individuals are the subject of the essays in this book, which reveal that all those researching the byways of book trade history, from the library cataloguers of medieval times to the dedicated scholar-librarians and historians of the recent past, can truly be said to have been "pioneers in bibliography."

(Powell, Anthony) Lilley, George ANTHONY POWELL, A BIBLIOGRAPHY.
With a foreword by Anthony Powell. New Castle, Delaware and Winchester Oak Knoll Books and St Paul's Bibliographies 1993 8vo. cloth. xviii, 253 pages.
First edition. The fourth volume in the Winchester Bibliographies of Twentieth Century Writers series. Anthony Powell (born 1905) is one of the most distinguished novelists of the 20th century. He is best-known for his twelve-novel sequence, A DANCE TO THE MUSIC OF TIME (1951-1975), which won critical acclaim from the outset and, as it developed, brought considerable popular success. From 1948 to 1960 his five pre-war novels appeared in new editions, since when his entire fictional oeuvre has remained continuously in print. Powell's position, among the most distinguished members of what has been called "The Brideshead Generation," lends a particular interest to his discussions and reminiscences of contemporaries such as Evelyn Waugh, Orwell and Connolly. Also of interest are his writings on Hemingway, Scott Fitzgerald and E.E. Cummings; European masters such as Stendhal, Dostoevsky and Proust; and on English writers of an earlier generation such as Beardsley, Conrad and Kipling. This comprehensive, authorized bibliography aims to cover his entire printed output, beginning with drawings and reviews contributed to school and university magazines. Books written or edited, or with contributions by Powell are fully described and detailed information is given about their publishing history. Powell's many contributions to periodicals, magazines and newspapers are also recorded; as are published interviews, broadcasts, anthology appearances and translations of his books. When Anthony Powell was shown this bibliography he stated "George Lilley has gone about his job impeccably. I am both gratified and impressed." Illustrated.

(Symons, Julian) Walsdorf, John J. JULIAN SYMONS, A BIBLIOGRAPHY.
Winchester and New Castle, Delaware St. Paul's Bibliographies and Oak Knoll Press 1996 8vo. cloth. 340 pages
First edition. Preface by H.R.F. Keating. The sixth volume of the Winchester Bibliographies of Twentieth Century Writers series. This is the first and only bibliography of Julian Symons to include a personal memoir and commentaries by Symons himself. According to Keating, a frequent motif of Symons's fiction is his use of the mask, whether as a disguise or a metaphor for the elegantly exposed hypocrisies of everyday life. As a literary critic, social historian, biographer, essayist, editor and poet, Symons was one of the most distinguished authors and expositors of the postwar British crime novel. His mystery writing career began with the publication of THE IMMATERIAL MURDER CASE (1945) and was later known for such works as THE COLOUR OF MURDER (1957), THE MAN WHO LOST HIS WIFE (1970) and DEATH'S DARKEST FACE (1990). He succeeded Dame Agatha Christie as President of the Detection Club (1976 to 1985) and was awarded the 1990 Cartier Diamond Dagger from the British Crime Writers Association for lifetime achievement in the world of crime fiction. A standard reference, JULIAN SYMONS, A BIBLIOGRAPHY will not only illuminate the richness of Symons's lesser-known early works, as well as chronicling his well-known masterworks, but its autobiographical personal memoir will also add insight to Symons's life beyond the page.

(Tolkien, J.R.R.) Hammond, Wayne G. J.R.R. TOLKIEN: A DESCRIPTIVE BIBLIOGRAPHY.
With the assistance of Douglas A. Anderson. New Castle, Delaware and Winchester Oak Knoll Press and St Paul's Bibliographies 2002 6 x 9 inches hardcover xi, (iii), 434 pages.
First edition, second printing. The second volume in the Winchester Bibliographies of Twentieth Century Writers series. This is the first descriptive bibliography of J.R.R. Tolkien, one of the most popular writers of the twentieth century. His children's book The Hobbit, his epic The Lord of the Rings, and his last triumph, The Silmarillion, have been read by millions and are at the core of modern fantasy fiction. A noted philologist, Tolkien also made significant contributions to Old and Middle English studies, including a landmark essay on Beowulf and standard editions of Ancrene Wisse and Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. This bibliography explores the full range of his imaginative and scholarly works, from juvenilia to the posthumous The History of Middle-Earth. Books written by Tolkien in whole or in part, his Contributions to Periodicals, Published Letters and Art Work, Interviews, Recordings, and translations of his writings are described. Special attention is paid to The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, whose many editions and complex textual changes are analyzed in detail. The publishing history of Tolkien's works is told at length, with notes drawn from publishers' archives and from Tolkien's correspondence.

There are eight pages of plates, a chronology and an index. This bibliography will become a standard reference book for scholars, librarians, booksellers and collectors whose already keen interest in Tolkien continues to grow.

(Woolf, Leonard) Luedeking, Leila and Michael Edmonds LEONARD WOOLF: A BIBLIOGRAPHY
New Castle, Delaware and Winchester Oak Knoll Books and St Paul's Bibliographies 1992 8vo. cloth. xvi, 296 pages.
First edition. The first volume in the Winchester Bibliographies of Twentieth Century Writers series. The full stature of Leonard Woolf can only be appreciated by an awareness of all his writings and of the influence he exerted in the first half of this century. His book, International Government became one of the formative influences on the League of Nations; through his writings, he became the architect of the Labour Party's often enlightened foreign policy between the Wars; through his literary editorship of the New Statesman and his founding of the Political Quarterly, his integrity and clear thinking were widely manifest. Woolf's excellent judgement as the publisher at the Hogarth Press was no better shown than by his early awareness of the importance of Freud's ideas, whose complete works were published by the Press in translation. This bibliography of all Woolf's publications will certainly increase our appreciation of his abilities both as a writer and thinker. There are four main sections to the bibliography: Books and Pamphlets, Contributions to Books and Pamphlets, Contributions to Periodicals (of which there are approx. 1,000), and Manuscript Collections. There is also a chronology of Woolf's life and main works plus three appendices on various aspects of his writing. Leonard Woolf: A Bibliography will be welcomed by the ever-increasing number of Bloomsbury Group collectors and enthusiasts, as well as librarians and scholars in the field of literature and political history.
