See More... 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.
