Six years of the Danish annual The Bibliophile: vols. 15-20 (1926-1931) of the original series The Bibliophile, which began in 1893, had by the 1920's lost interest in book crafts, and deals more with collecting and bibliophile issues, becoming rather more international in outlook. In 1926, reports on Danish Book auctions are added. There is more coverage of libraries and collections/ collectors, and of current book illustration. The reports on the activities of the Association for Book Crafts (Forening...) cease. The historical and retrospective articles continue, of course. Three volumes have cracked hinges. 1928 lacks the spine covering.

See More... (Bookbinding) Bennett, Stuart TRADE BOOKBINDING IN THE BRITISH ISLES, 1660-1800
New Castle and London Oak Knoll Press and the British Library 2004 small 4to. cloth, dust jacket 176 pages
First edition. This book is the first illustrated guide to this complex and controversial subject. In 1930, in The Evolution of Publishers' Binding Styles, Michael Sadleir declared that "the bookseller-publisher of the decades from 1730 to 1770 issued his books either in loose quires, or stitched, or a most in a plain paper wrapper." This view is still generally accepted. Bennett, however, presents new documentary and visual evidence that books were predominantly sold ready-bound in sheep, calf, and goat as well as boards and wrappers. Over 200 color illustrations show what these bindings looked like, and how their styles evolved.

New Castle Oak Knoll Books 1991 8vo. cloth. (13), x, 209 pages.
Reprint of the first edition, with a new introduction by Joseph Rosenblum. This work first appeared in 1932 to celebrate the 125th anniversary of its publisher, John Wiley and Sons. Boynton was interested in the colorful figures that populated the book world of early America and tells their fascinating story in an entertaining manner. His account begins with the establishment of the Cambridge Press in Massachusetts Bay in 1638 and ends in 1850, by which time the production and distribution of the book had entered the modern age. This is one of the best accounts of early American bookselling, printing and publishing.

See More... Bristol, Roger Pattrell. INDEX OF PRINTERS, PUBLISHERS, AND BOOKSELLERS INDICATED BY CHARLES EVANS IN HIS AMERICAN BIBLIOGRAPHY.
Mansfield Centre, CT Martino Publishing 2005 8vo. cloth. iv, 172 pages.
Reprint of the 1961 first edition published by the Bibliographical Society of America (Besterman 5196). This useful bibliography is a tool for use in conjunction with Evans, American Bibliography. Bristol has provided an index of printers, publishers, and booksellers to help navigate Evans when author-title information is not clear, or not properly transcribed. Bristol suggests that Evans made many attributions of author, publisher, and place of publication which have been found to be poor hunches. The index is an attempt to correct some of these errors. Names of printers and publishers are brought together under place, with no attempt to establish relationships or to differentiate between the individuals of the same name. Bristol was involved in updating Evans even further through supplements and indexes intended to make the information provided in Evans more accurate and accessible.
