(Ashendene Press) Hornby, C.H. St J. A DESCRIPTIVE BIBLIOGRAPHY OF THE BOOKS PRINTED AT THE ASHENDENE PRESS MDCCCXCV - MCMXXXV.
Chelsea The Ashendene Press 1935 4to. full leather with a stamped gilt design on the front cover and title in gilt on spine, five raised bands, top edge gilt, others uncut, original marbled paper-covered slipcase. (viii), 172 pages.
Limited to 390 numbered and signed copies (Bibliography XL; Leaf Book - Chalmers 65). The last book of the press. Printed on paper specially made by Joseph Batchelor & Sons and hand-printed by Hornby. Contains an historical introduction by Hornby followed by the detailed bibliographical descriptions of both the books and the ephemera printed at the press. Illustrated with collotype and photogravures (printed by Emery Walker), showing plates of bindings and several of the hand-painted vellum copies. Also includes examples of woodcuts, facsimile pages from important books, printer's marks, samples of initial letters, watermarks, and a few actual specimens of press work (thus making this a leaf book). With some initial letters filled in by hand by Graily Hewitt. Hornby's introduction is most informative about his goals in establishing the Press, and also reveals his personality and sense of humor - at one point he jokes about collectors' frustrations at obtaining copies of a book with a very small limitation. Four page prospectus of books dated February, 1931, loosely inserted. Slipcase shows minor rubbing. Leather rubbed along hinges with rub through at bottom of spine.

Ashton, Jean EMERGING VOICES: AMERICAN WOMEN WRITERS, 1650-1920
New York The Grolier Club 1998 6 x 9 inches paperback 120 pages
This catalogue, made to accompany the exhibition held at the Grolier Club from March 11 to May 2, 1998, expresses the voices of American women writers through their books. The catalogue explores the movement of women writers in America, beginning with the homespun verse of Ann Bradstreet (the first volume of poetry published by any American) and closing with the appearance of Edith Wharton's highly polished "Age of Innocence" (winner of the 1921 Pulitzer Prize for the best American novel). It is intended to be an overview of the works of authors who reflect the historical concerns of women living in America and the emerging voice of the American woman writer. The book also includes a frontispiece in color and a full-page illustration in black-and-white. It was designed and typeset by Katy Homans, and printed by the Stinehour Press.

(Astronomy) Copeland, Ralph CATALOGUE OF THE CRAWFORD LIBRARY OF THE ROYAL OBSERVATORY EDINBURGH.
(Bernardston, MA and Mansfield Centre, CT Astronomy Books and Martino Publishing Co. 2001) 4to. cloth viii, 499+(1) pages
Facsimile reprint limited to 75 copies of an edition first published in Edinburgh by Authority of Her Majesty's Government in 1890. (Besterman 588). Donated by James Ludovic, Earl of Crawford, to the Edinburgh Royal Observatory, the collection of the Library of Dunecht Observatory started with the library of the late Charles Babbage, was augmented by a number of very rare works from the library at Haigh Hall, Lancashire, and included some works on natural history obtained for the Mauritius Expedition in 1874. From this strong beginning, works in the areas of comets, physics and pure mathematics were added. The catalogue, which describes about 10,000 books on astronomy, is arranged in alphabetical order, chiefly by author followed by the title, number of volumes, number of plates, maps, etc., size, and finally the dimensions. There are also eighteen cross-referenced subject headings. This extremely rare catalogue has never been reprinted. Almost all extant copies of the original are very brittle due to the paper used for printing.

(Astronomy) Luther, Paul THE PRINTED CATALOGUES OF THE LIBRARY OF THE ROYAL ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY, BOOKS, PAMPHLETS, JOURNALS & MANUSCRIPTS FROM 1450 TO 1940.
2 volumes. Bernardston, MA and Mansfield Centre, CT Astronomy Books & Martino Publishing 2006 4to. cloth. (iv),viii,511; (iv),512-1048 pages..
Luther's compilation is an exhaustive new bibliography on the literature of astronomy. It records over 4000 authors and 15,000 titles, with an additional 3,000 new cross-references. Most authors are recorded with full names, dates of birth and death, and the authorities for that information. Most titles are recorded with the approximate size of the book, place of publication, and date of publication. Special care has been taken to record titles by obscure minor figures, meteorological titles, and unconventional titles. The inclusion of serial off-prints gives a breadth to the listings of each other which has yet to be approached by the offerings of on-line catalogues. The work has been compiled with the attention to detail and has taken several years to complete. For the first time the holdings of the Royal Astronomical Society have been brought up to date and augmented for the student of the historical literature of astronomy.
