(Bibliography) Bowers, Fredson PRINCIPLES OF BIBLIOGRAPHICAL DESCRIPTION
With a new introduction by G. Thomas Tanselle. Winchester and New Castle, Delaware St Paul's Bibliographies and Oak Knoll Press (2005) thick 8vo. stiff paper wrappers. xvi, 505 pages.
Reprint of the first edition. One of the indisputable classics of 20th-century scholarship, Bowers's work is one of the standard guides on the subject, providing a comprehensive manual for the description of printed books as physical objects. Although there has been much activity in descriptive bibliography since then, Principles still holds its place as the central book to which those engaged in bibliographical work continually return.

(Bibliography) Gaskell, Philip A NEW INTRODUCTION TO BIBLIOGRAPHY.
New Castle, Delaware & Winchester Oak Knoll Press & St. Paul's Bibliographies 2009 6 x 9 inches paperback 462 pages
Reprint of the 1995 Oak Knoll edition. Ronald B. McKerrow's An Introduction to Bibliography for Literary Students has been the classic manual on bibliography, showing how the transmission of texts might be affected by the processes of printing, but he concentrated almost exclusively on "Elizabethan" printing - the period from 1560 to 1660. However, in recent years, there has been an increasing interest in the textual problems of the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries, and, although McKerrow covered the period up to 1800, he did not describe the technology of the machine-press period. Gaskell incorporates work done since McKerrow's day on the history of the printing technology of the hand-press period, and he breaks new ground by providing a general description of the printing practices of the machine-press period. He describes the hand-printed book, press-work, patterns of production, plates, and more. In addition, he examines bibliographical applications, reference bibliography, and the process of book production. Little has been previously published about the techniques and routines of nineteenth- and twentieth-century book production, making this book essential to students of literature, scholars, printing historians, librarians, and booklovers.
