Felcone, Joseph J. PRINTING IN NEW JERSEY 1754-1800: A DESCRIPTIVE BIBLIOGRAPHY
Worcester, Massachusetts American Antiquarian Society 2012 8.5 x 11 inches hardcover, dust jacket 544 pages
The first permanent printing office in New Jersey was established in 1754 by James Parker. Laws, proceedings of the assembly, and proclamations of the royal governors all came from Parker's press, as did numerous works for the fledgling College of New Jersey (now Princeton University). Other printers soon saw opportunity in New Jersey, so that by 1800, forty-four individuals had been either proprietors or partners in printing offices spread across the state from Sussex County to Cumberland County. Printing in New Jersey contains full descriptions of all of the known products of every eighteenth-century New Jersey press.

As a descriptive bibliography of early American imprints, this book sets a new standard for comprehensiveness. Of the 1,265 books, pamphlets, periodicals, newspapers, and broadsides included, almost a quarter of them are recorded here for the first time. Every entry receives detailed bibliographical treatment: full collations are provided, paper and type are identified, contemporary bindings are described, and advertisements in newspapers are recorded. Every located copy has been collated, and full copy-specific data, including eighteenth-century provenance, is presented. Extensive notes identify anonymous authors, provide biographical and historical context, attribute unsigned printing, and establish press runs.

The second part of the text is devoted to items that may have been printed in New Jersey but for which insufficient documentation has been found to permit a clear attribution to a New Jersey press. A third part contains works incorrectly attributed to a New Jersey press by earlier bibliographers and now removed from the New Jersey printing canon. The rich back matter supports the bibliography. The first of three appendices lists the alphabetical, chronological, and geographical distribution of printing offices in eighteenth-century New Jersey. The second appendix is a register of the New Jersey book trade that records printers, publishers, booksellers, newspaper proprietors, bookbinders, papermakers, and others engaged in any aspect of the book trade or allied arts in New Jersey from 1754 through 1800. The third appendix contains six concordances. An extensive list of manuscript collections and printed resources essential to the study of eighteenth-century New Jersey printing documents the work. The volume concludes with three indexes: an index of printers and publishers, a provenance index, and a comprehensive general index.

Joseph J. Felcone has spent a lifetime collecting, studying, and writing about New Jersey books and the early New Jersey book trade. To compile this comprehensive work, he visited and fully surveyed 115 libraries, from the major repositories in the United States and England to county and local historical societies in New Jersey, and physically examined and recorded every eighteenth-century New Jersey imprint.

Fitzgerald, Carol THE RIVERS OF AMERICA: A DESCRIPTIVE BIBLIOGRAPHY.
2 volumes New Castle, Delaware Oak Knoll Press 2001 6 x 9 inches hardcover, dust jacket 1,002 pages
This remarkable, well-researched bibliography is the most comprehensive work ever published on the historical series of books called The Rivers of America. This important series of sixty-five titles was published from 1937 to 1974, and most have been reprinted, some of them many times. Each book focused on one of the nation's major rivers or river systems and captured its spirit, folklore and history as never before.
Carol Fitzgerald has written a very readable, two-volume work that goes far beyond the dry reference work of most bibliographies. She includes insightful biographies of the series' sixty authors, fifty-three illustrators and eight editors. Each original dust jacket is depicted in the text and some are illustrated in full color in the plate section. The Rivers of America is an excellent reference source for the subject and a fascinating read for anyone in love with the lore of this nation's first highways. This work presents complete bibliographical descriptions of the nearly 400 printings of the 65 titles that make up the series.
Carol Fitzgerald has lectured at universities and was a speaker at the 1997 Library of Congress symposium "Rivers of America 1937-1974: A 60th Anniversary Celebration." Co-published with the Center for the Book in the Library of Congress.

Fitzgerald, Carol. SERIES AMERICANA: POST DEPRESSION-ERA REGIONAL LITERATURE, 1938-1980, A DESCRIPTIVE BIBLIOGRAPHY INCLUDING BIOGRAPHIES OF THE AUTHORS, ILLUSTRATORS, AND EDITORS.
2 volumes. New Castle, Delaware Oak Knoll Press 2009 6 x 9 inches 2 volumes, hardcover, dust jacket 1028 pages
First edition. During the years of the Great Depression and the decades that followed, works of American regional writing became increasingly popular. The thirteen series highlighted in this book were published from 1938 to 1980 and contain 163 titles, providing a broad representation of series Americana published during this span. Taken together, the series constitute a unique and compelling self-portrait of America, encompassing the American people, their history and culture, and the nation's natural treasures-its mountains, plains, and lakes-over a broad sweep of time measured in centuries. Other aspects of America-landmarks, seaports, forts, trails, folkways, customs, society in America, and even regional murders-are also subjects of these series. "Series Americana" continued to fill in the national self-portrait that began with the publication of state guide series by
the Federal Writers Project of the WPA (1937--1942), and continued with the Rivers of America series (1937--1974).

Each of the thirteen sections contains an introduction and publishing history, brief biographical sketches of the series editors, authors, and illustrators, a precise bibliographical description of the first edition/first printing of each title in the series, a tabulation of the number of reprints, and a listing of other works by the book's author. There are 242 biographical sketches altogether. With this wealth of relevant information, the books in these series function as guides to the regions or subjects they address. Much of the information presented about these books and their publishers, editors, and authors, has never before been assembled in an organized and usable format. This book will help preserve the memory of the talented American men and women who contributed to these series.

Carol Fitzgerald is the author of The Rivers of America: A Descriptive Bibliography (Oak Knoll Press, 2001). A longtime book collector, she has co-curated several exhibits of books and ephemera from her personal collections of Americana. She is a member of The Grolier Club, the Book Club of California, and the Fontaneda Society and lives in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, with her husband, Jean.

Fleck, Robert D. BOOKS ABOUT BOOKS: A HISTORY AND BIBLIOGRAPHY OF OAK KNOLL PRESS, 1978-2008.
New Castle, Delaware Oak Knoll Press 2008 6 x 9 inches Hardback, dust jacket 238 pages
Written to mark Oak Knoll Press's thirtieth anniversary, Books about Books is a comprehensive history and bibliography of the press, from its beginning in 1978 through the fall of 2008. Bob Fleck, founder, owner, and president of the Press, tells the story of his adventures in publishing. Bob decided to leave the field of chemical engineering in 1976 to start Oak Knoll Books, an antiquarian bookseller specializing in books about books. Two years later, he started publishing in the same field, beginning with a reprint of Bigmore and Wyman's A Bibliography of Printing. Oak Knoll Press has operated out of several buildings and under several publishing directors, but in the thirty years of its existence, it has developed a reputation for excellence in the field of books about books. The Press has published 320 books to date and is still going strong.

The book begins with a fifty-page history of the press, which is well illustrated with more than fifty images. The history is followed by the bibliography, which lists 320 books in order of publication. Each entry includes the author, title, edition, and a brief physical description, as well as a paragraph describing the contents of the book. Any subsequent reprints are also listed. The bibliography includes about twenty full-page images of Oak Knoll Press publications. Books about Books is sure to be a useful tool for all of those wishing to expand their Oak Knoll Press collection or understand individual titles in the context of the whole.
