(ad lib Press) Hopkinson, Francis PLAN FOR THE IMPROVEMENT OF THE ART OF PAPER WAR
Richmond, VA ad lib Press 1990 8vo. stiff paper wrappers. (16) pages.
Reprint of the 1787 printing that occured in the American Musuem. Limited to 155 numbered copies; this copy is out of series. An article discussing American type faces and American type. Silver, in his THE AMERICAN PRINTER, p.146, says "In an essay printed in 1787 ... (Hopkinson) proposed an improvement in the art of printing, so as to make it expressive not only of the author's narrative, opinions, or arguments, but also of the peculiarities of his temper, the vivacity of his feelings .... Carey printed the essay with each type size displayed when Hopkinson referred to it; a description of a newspaper quarrel begins in long primer, the reply to follow in pica, the next artument in great primer, the retort in double pica, and so on, concluding with five-line pica, which indeed is as far as the art of printing, or a modern quarrel can well go."

(Baskerville, John) Milton, John PARADISE LOST. A POEM IN TWELVE BOOKS and PARADISE REGAINED. A POEM IN FOUR BOOKS TO WHICH IS ADDED SAMSON AGONISTES AND POEMS UPON SEVERAL OCCASIONS.
2 volumes. Birmingham John Baskerville for J. and R. Tonson 1760 8vo. contemporary calf with gilt border; spines gilt with leather labels and raised bands; marbled pastedowns and free endpapers (xxiii), 416; lxxii, 390 pages
Printed by Baskerville for J. and R. Tonson (London), from the text of Thomas Newton, D.D., bishop of Bristol and a Milton scholar who had published an edition of Paradise Lost in 1749 (DNB XIV, 403-5). First volume includes a list of subscribers and introductory poems: In Paradisum Amissam (in Latin) by Samuel Barrow, M.D., and On Paradise Lost by Andrew Marvel. Also includes introductory comments on the verse and the argument. Second volume includes table of contents and a biography of Milton. According to F.E. Pardoe, this was Baskerville's third printing of Milton's works; two were previously published in 1758 and 1759 (Pardoe 169). See also Philip Gaskell, 24-7; 28-9. This edition was listed in the Public Advertiser (London) on May 14, 1760. Noteworthy are the gilt-roll on the bindings and the marbled endpapers. According to Diana Patterson, the Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce offered a premium for the manufacture of marbled paper in 1759. Although no premium was awarded until 1763, Baskerville was an entrant, and the front endpaper of this work is illustrated with Patterson's article on the subject (Patterson, "John Baskerville, Marbler," in The Library s6-12 (3), 1990, 212-21). Previous owner's name inscribed on endpaper of both volumes. Front joint of first volume cracked, rubbing at edges. Gilt on spines dulled. Foxing. Copy of Patterson article laid in.

Bigmore, E.C. and C.W.H. Wyman A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF PRINTING.
New Castle, DE Oak Knoll Press 2001 small 8vo. cloth, dust jacket 1070 pages
In the long and distinguished history of bibliographical scholarship, few works stand equal to E.C. Bigmore and C.W.H. Wyman's monumental classic, A Bibliography of Printing. The original three volumes were published from 1880 to 1886 by the famed British bookman and publisher, Bernard Quaritch. Quickly recognized as a treasure house of information on books dealing with publishing and the printing arts, this ground-breaking catalogue quickly established itself as the premier bibliography in its field. A new introduction has been written by Henry Morris of Bird & Bull Press. Beautifully illustrated, with hundreds of original woodcuts depicting portraits, printers' marks, topographical scenes, and foliated initials graced many of its thousand-plus pages. Unlike many of its unannotated predecessors, Bigmore and Wymans analytical descriptions give a unique and strong-willed voice to this well-researched book. The original work contained one major drawback: it lacked a comprehensive index. This edition has corrected this oversight. Reprint of the 1880/82/86 three-volume edition with a comprehensive index. Co-published with The British Library.

(Bowyer) Maslen, Keith and John Lancaster (editor) BOWYER LEDGERS, THE PRINTING ACCOUNTS OF WILLIAM BOWYER FATHER AND SON REPRODUCED ON MICROFICHE WITH A CHECKLIST OF BOWYER PRINTING 1699-1777, A COMMENTARY, INDEXES AND APPENDIXES.
London and New York The Bibliographical Society and The Bibliographical Society of America 1991 tall 8vo. cloth. lxxv, (1), 616, (4) pages. Accompanied by 70 microfiche enclosed in a separate box
The Bowyer ledgers, kept by William Bowyer, father and son, between 1710 and 1777, offer vast new information concerning authorship, book production and book distribution in eighteenth-century London. They are among the few surviving from this period and for London, the center of the British book trade. More than 5,000 works by some 1,000 authors were commissioned by some 500 customers, including booksellers, institutions and private gentlemen, and were produced by several hundreds of workmen. Copies were delivered to more than 1,500 persons, members of the trade or representatives of the reading public at large. The ledgers record what happened to the text as it moved through the printing house, noting paper, types, format, corrections, number printed and the like. This edition of the Bowyer ledgers presents the records themselves in photo-facsimile on microfiche, accompanied by a volume of editorial material. The microfiches reproduce the four surviving ledgers and associated papers, prefixed with detailed descriptions of the originals. Distributed for The Bibliographical Society of America. SALES RIGHTS: Available in the US from Oak Knoll Books. Available outside the US from The Bibliographical Society of America.

Boynton, Henry Walcott ANNALS OF AMERICAN BOOKSELLING, 1638-1850
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.
