(Bibliography) Gaskell, Philip A NEW INTRODUCTION TO BIBLIOGRAPHY.
New Castle, Delaware & Winchester Oak Knoll Press & St. Paul's Bibliographies 2009 6 x 9 inches paperback 462 pages
Reprint of the 1995 Oak Knoll edition. Ronald B. McKerrow's An Introduction to Bibliography for Literary Students has been the classic manual on bibliography, showing how the transmission of texts might be affected by the processes of printing, but he concentrated almost exclusively on "Elizabethan" printing - the period from 1560 to 1660. However, in recent years, there has been an increasing interest in the textual problems of the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries, and, although McKerrow covered the period up to 1800, he did not describe the technology of the machine-press period. Gaskell incorporates work done since McKerrow's day on the history of the printing technology of the hand-press period, and he breaks new ground by providing a general description of the printing practices of the machine-press period. He describes the hand-printed book, press-work, patterns of production, plates, and more. In addition, he examines bibliographical applications, reference bibliography, and the process of book production. Little has been previously published about the techniques and routines of nineteenth- and twentieth-century book production, making this book essential to students of literature, scholars, printing historians, librarians, and booklovers.

(Bibliography) McKerrow, Ronald B. AN INTRODUCTION TO BIBLIOGRAPHY FOR LITERATURE STUDENTS.
With a new introduction by David McKitterick. Winchester and New Castle, Delaware St Paul's Bibliographies and Oak Knoll Press 1994 8vo. stiff paper wrappers. 400 pages.
This book is one of the very few authorities that can be described as essential to anyone interested in the history of printed books in the era of hand printing. Ever since its first publication in 1927 it has been at the head of reading lists and within easy reach of all who study not only literature, but early printed books in general. McKerrow evokes and analyses the manner by which books were printed and authors' texts were thereby brought before the public. Readable, practical, informative and constantly suggestive, McKerrow has inspired generations of work since. In the extensive new introduction David McKitterick, Fellow and Librarian of Trinity College, Cambridge writes: "McKerrow's work, humane, alert to many an unresolved question remains an inspiration - to the beginner and more advanced 'student' alike."

(Children's Books) Moon, Marjorie BENJAMIN TABART'S JUVENILE LIBRARY, A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF BOOKS FOR CHILDREN PUBLISHED, WRITTEN, EDITED AND SOLD BY MR. TABART, 1801-1820.
Winchester St Paul's Bibliographies 1990 8vo. cloth. xvii, 180 pages.
First edition. In the early nineteenth century the prevailing influence in children's books was the promotion of morality, coupled with instruction, and fairy-tales and such-like improper subjects were widely discouraged. So Benjamin Tabart showed no little courage when, within three years of opening his Juvenile Library in Bond Street, he launched out into the publication of a series of well-produced fairy-tales and nursery stories.
During his short publishing career, he continued to provide children's bookshelves with light-hearted, attractive-looking books for which he employed excellent artists and some of the best children's writers of the day. Many of his publications are now very scarce, but Marjorie Moon has recorded about a hundred and ninety titles (often in several editions), which have survived the hazards of nursery life. Since Mr. Tabert was not only a publisher but also a bookseller, part two of this bibliography includes other titles which he advertized as being on sale in his shop.
An introduction discussing Tabart's publishing career, his family life, and the very close connection between Tabart and the prolific publisher, Sir Richard Phillips, is included. Brian Alderson has contributed an appendix on the illustrating of two of Tabart's picture-books, and another appendix reprints William Goodwin's remarkable preface to his book of Bible stories which so horrified Mrs. Trimmer, the self-appointed critic of Georgian children's reading matter.

(Children's Books) Moon, Marjorie CHILDREN'S BOOKS OF MARY (BELSON) ELLIOTT BLENDING SOUND CHRISTIAN PRINCIPLES WITH CHEERFUL CULTIVATION.
Winchester St. Paul's Bibliographies 1987 8vo. cloth, dust jacket. xxix, 142 pages.
First edition. Mary Elliott (then Mary Belson) began writing for children in 1809, at a time when increasing literacy and wealth and more progressive understanding of the reading needs of children were creating a growing demand for more and more books for young people. Beginning with two books in verse - one a lively tale about town and country mice, the other, an anthology including many of her own poems - she went on to produce a stream of books on a variety of subjects. Her stories, some eventful and exciting, were mostly about real children learning to tackle the everyday circumstances and difficulties which they encountered in the world around them.
These books were made all the more attractive by her publisher, William Darton, who provided them with entertaining illustrations, many of them interesting today for their depiction of contemporary scenes and fashions. Mary Elliott's books soon spread across the Atlantic, and American publishers reissued many of them, sometimes adapting the text to local circumstances. Although her books are now forgotten, they cannot be disregarded by researchers into the history of childhood and of children's literature. This bibliography contains about 470 entries, detailing not only each known edition of her books but also the picture-sheets, reward cards and combined volumes of assorted tales and verses.

Davison, Peter (editor) THE BOOK ENCOMPASSED.
New Castle, Delaware and Winchester, England Oak Knoll Press & St. Paul's Bibliographies 1998 tall 8vo. paper wrappers. 336 pages.
Reprint of the first edition. The techniques and approaches fostered in the first half of this century by the "New Bibliography" have spread throughout the world, developing and expanding in association with bodies, such as the Bibliographical Societies of Britain and America. These essays, specially commissioned for this book, take "New Bibliography" into the 21st century. Surveying bibliographic and textual studies in some thirty fields, they discuss major issues and developments. Areas covered include manuscript studies and the analysis of handwriting; the physical characteristics of the book - its paper, type, and binding; enumerative and descriptive bibliography, incunabula, cartography, book illustration, book catalogues, and the Stationers' Company. This work also discusses bibliographical developments in the history of science and in many countries - the British Isles, France, Germany, Italy, North America, Japan and Asia, Australia and New Zealand. Developments in the theory and practice of editing texts (including biblical texts); the history of the book and the implications of the computer for bibliography are also focused on in this volume. 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.

First edition. One hundred years after its first publication, the DNB is still a valuable source of biographical information on over 30,000 famous names.

This is the first guide to the contributors: authors, academics, recognized authorities on their subjects, and, in many cases, young writers making their first appearance in print. This index lists contributors and their articles alphabetically, giving names, dates, DNB volume number, and page reference. Unsigned articles are listed separately.

(Gill, Eric) Gill, Evan R. ERIC GILL, A BIBLIOGRAPHY.
Revised by D. Steven Corey and Julia Mackenzie. Winchester St Paul's Bibliographies 1991 8vo. cloth, dust jacket. xv, 368 pages.
Decades have passed since the death of Eric Gill (1882-1940) and yet the reputation of this remarkable artist and thinker continues to grow. Famous for his stone carving, wood engraving, type designs and writing, he has also found a wide appeal amongst a younger generation who are sympathetic to his outlook on life - to "make a cell of good living in the chaos of our world." Since the original bibliography by Gill's brother, Evan, was published in 1953, a great deal of new material has come to light in the fine collections built up in the USA and elsewhere in recent years, and this new edition is a complete revision of the original bibliography. It includes not only all the new discoveries but also the material published on Gill in the last thirty-eight years. The number of bibliographical entries has increased by over one third in this greatly expanded work. The book has been redesigned with advice from Gill's nephew, Christopher Skelton, placing greater emphasis on the illustrations, which have been either retaken from the original editions or introduced as completely new ones of bibliographical interest.

Hunt, Arnold, Giles Mandelbrote and Alison Shell BOOK TRADE & ITS CUSTOMERS, 1450-1900: HISTORICAL ESSAYS FOR ROBIN MYERS.
Introduction by D.F. McKenzie. Winchester & New Castle, DE St Paul's Bibliographies & Oak Knoll Press 1997 8vo. illustrated, cloth, dust jacket. 334 pages.
Collected here as a homage to Robin Myers, respected book trade historian and editor of the Publishing Pathways Series devoted to studies in book trade and publishing history, these essays uncover the connections between the mechanics of the book trade and their human ends in the learning and transmission of knowledge. They show that the processes and materials involved in the production of books pave the way for larger economic and social issues ranging from business connections, patents, copyrights and their transfer, London's relations with Ireland and America, the Stationers' Company and what transpires when books pass into the hands of customers. This work also includes a memoir of Myers along with a bibliography of her published works.
Here in PART I: THE BOOK TRADE, the contributors discuss a variety of topics: Ann Greening on "A 16th-century stationer and his business connections: the Tottell family documents (1448-1719) at Stationers' Hall," Elisabeth Leedham-Green on "Manasses Vautrollier in Cambridge," David Pearson on "A binding with the arms of the Stationers' Company," Arnold Hunt on "Book trade patents, 1603-1640," Giles Mandelbrote on "Richard Bentley's copies: the ownership of copyrights in the late 17th-century," Michael Harris on "Scratching the surface: engravers, printsellers and the London book trade in the mid-18th century," Scott Mandelbrote on "John Baskett, the Dublin booksellers, and the printing of the Bible, c. 1710-1724," James Tierney on "Dublin-London publishing relations in the 18th-century: the case of George Faulkner," Michael Turner on "A list of the stockholders: the Stationers' Company's English Stock in the 19th-century," and Esther Potter on "The changing role of the trade bookbinder, 1800-1900."
PART II: THE CUSTOMERS include Christine Ferdinand on "Magdalen College and the book trade: the provision of books in Oxford: 1450-1550," Tom Birrell on "The library of Sir Edward Sherburne," Michael Treadwell on "Richard Lapthorne and the London retail book trade, 1683-1697," Alison Shell on "The antiquarian satirized: John Clubbe and the Antiquities of Wheatfield," James Raven on "Gentlemen, pirates and really respectable booksellers: some Charleston customers for Lackington, Allen & Co.," David J. Hall on "Francis Fry, a maker of chocolate and Bibles, and Eiluned Rees on "Art and craft: bookbindings in the National Library of Wales."
