Nicolas Barker, The Book Collector's editor for the past 37 years, has produced an anthology taking the best essays printed over the last 50 years and combining them into one book.

Enright), and Harry Widener (Arthur Freeman). A number of other essays are concerned with particular books, authors, or related topics. This work also examines notable books, including the first edition of the infamous Fanny Hill, and also portrays the personalities of a number of famous collectors, from Richard Heber and Sir Thomas Phillipps, to Chester Beatty, Martin Bodmer and Philip Hofer.

Barnes, Robert C. and Judith M. Pfeiffer PRESS, POLITICS & PERSEVERANCE, EVERETT C. JOHNSON AND THE PRESS OF KELLS.
New Castle, DE Oak Knoll Press 1999 8vo. cloth, dust jacket. 320 pages.
This long-awaited biography brings to life the remarkable printer, politician and sage, Everett Johnson. Inspired by the work of Elbert Hubbard's Roycrofters, Johnson established the indomitable Press of Kells in Newark, Delaware. The fortress-like stone building that became home to the "Newark Post" still stands, and as of 1999, this lively paper celebrates its 90th year. For the next generation, through his books, newspaper articles, and public service, he struggled to champion a series of social causes and became known as the "Conscience of Delaware." This very readable book includes Robert Barnes' comprehensive bibliography of Johnson's works.
