Pettas, William A HISTORY & BIBLIOGRAPHY OF THE GIUNTI (JUNTA) PRINTING FAMILY IN SPAIN 1526 - 1628, COVERING THE JUNTA (GIUNTI) PRESS AND THE IMPRENTA REAL IN BURGOS, SALAMANCA & MADRID WITH A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE SEVERAL GIUNTI PRESSES IN VENICE, FLORENCE AND LYON AND A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF THE PRESS OF JUAN BAUTISTA VARESIO IN BURGOS, VALLADOLID & LERMA
New Castle, DE Oak Knoll Press 2004 8.5" x 11" cloth, hardcover. 1086 pages.
The first edition of this monumental work opens with a 170 page history of the Giunti publishing family that covers their achievements in Italy, Spain and France from 1489 to 1628. As the great rivals of the Aldine Press, the Giunti aggressively captured large portions of the lucrative governmental and Church's printing business. From their base in Florence and Venice, family members set up printing presses in Burgos, Salamanca, Madrid, Valladolid, Lerma and Lyons. In Spain they became printers to the most powerful King in the world and established "The Imprenta Real," changing their name to "Junta." The comprehensive, 700 page bibliography of the books they published while in Spain is annotated with more than 148 wood cuts of their ornate title page art, imprints, and other identifying ornaments. The text also features the genealogical charts of the family, library holdings, and a documentary chronology.

The author, William Pettas, has researched this early printing family for over twenty years, and this is his second work on this important clan. A very readable and valuable contribution to the history of the book and an important bibliography and reference work.

(Pforzheimer, Carl H.) Unger, Emma V. and William A. Jackson CARL H. PFORZHEIMER LIBRARY, ENGLISH LITERATURE, 1475-1700.
3 volumes. New Castle, Delaware and Los Angeles Oak Knoll Press & Heritage Book Shop Inc. 1997 small 4to. cloth 1350 pages
Limited to 700 copies. Originally printed and limited to only 150 copies, this legendary three-volume work describes over 1,300 English literary rare books and manuscripts in the Carl H. Pforzheimer Library, one of the foremost American collections of early English literature, now housed at the Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center. The original catalogue, extremely difficult and expensive to find on the antiquarian market (normally priced around the $8,000 mark), fully describes all the books and manuscripts in Pforzheimer's collection of English literature, making it a most valuable reference for the scholar, researcher, librarian, book collector and bookseller. This work puts each description into various contexts: authorship, textual authority, sequence of editions and publishing history, reference concordance and rarity. The collection also gathers together the best books by the best authors in this period of English literature. Begun by Emma V. Unger and completed by William A. Jackson, the catalogue is primarily arranged in alphabetical order by author. Translations and anonymous books in most cases have been placed under the name of the translator or the attributed author. These can be readily found through full cross references and in the Index of Anonymous Books. In addition, a new addendum consisting of thirteen pages of books added later to the Library are included. Originally designed by Frederic Warde, Bruce Rogers completed the work with additional design and title pages after Warde's untimely death. After the acquisition of the Library by the University of Texas at Austin in 1986, many scholars, librarians and booksellers have urged the University to republish this catalogue. Now reproduced with great care and attention to quality, this new printing preserves Jackson's matchless style and Rogers's design. This edition is published jointly by Oak Knoll Press and Heritage Book Shop Inc. in a press run of 700 copies. The text is printed on quality 60 lb. Natural Smooth paper. The volumes are strongly bound in cloth with gold-stamped titles on the spines and the Pforzheimer monogram on the front boards.

(Pinter, Harold) Baker, William and John C. Ross HAROLD PINTER: A BIBLIOGRAPHICAL HISTORY
New Castle, Delaware Oak Knoll Press 2005 6" x 9" Hardcover 368 pages
Harold Pinter was one of the most prolific British authors, with a writing career of fifty-eight years. This bibliographical history provides a comprehensive account of the print-published writings and texts in other media, which he has wholly or partly authored, and will be a valuable resource for all who have a scholarly interest in modern British literature. Preeminently an oustanding playwright, a creator of texts in dramatic form for live theatre, radio, television or cinema, Pinter also composed a significant body of poetry, some short stories, a novel, and a large number of non-fictional prose writings. Interviews, recorded in print and other media, interview-based articles and other texts are documented here, as are texts generated from Pinter's wide-ranging interest in literary projects, human rights and political causes, with forewords to books, short notes, jointly authored letters, signatures to petitions, declarations and other material.

Pirie, James W. WILLIAM STAFFORD: AN ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY.
New Castle, Delaware and Portland, Oregon Oak Knoll Press and Lewis & Clark College 2013 6 x 9 inches hardcover with dust jacket 544 pages
William Stafford (1914-1993) was one of the most prolific and important American poets of the last half of the twentieth century. Among his many awards, Stafford served as Consultant in Poetry to the Library of Congress, and received the National Book Award in 1963 for his poetry collection Traveling through the Dark. During his lifetime, Stafford wrote over sixty books of poetry that still resonate with a wide range of readers. Stafford's perspectives on peace, the environment, and education serve as some of the most articulate dialogues by a modern American writer.

James W. Pirie (1913-2002) was the author of Books for Junior College Libraries: A Selected List of Approximately 19,700 Titles (1969) and Typology of Institutions of Higher Education (1974). As the well-respected Director of Aubrey R. Watzek Library at Lewis & Clark College in Portland, Oregon, from 1966 to 1982, Pirie worked closely with his friend and colleague William Stafford to maintain an accurate bibliographic record of Staffords numerous publications. Following James Piries death in 2002, the Lewis & Clark College Special Collections staff expanded and updated Pirie's bibliography for this volume, the only comprehensive bibliography of William Stafford's writings.

(Powell, Anthony) Lilley, George ANTHONY POWELL, A BIBLIOGRAPHY.
With a foreword by Anthony Powell. New Castle, Delaware and Winchester Oak Knoll Books and St Paul's Bibliographies 1993 8vo. cloth. xviii, 253 pages.
First edition. The fourth volume in the Winchester Bibliographies of Twentieth Century Writers series. Anthony Powell (born 1905) is one of the most distinguished novelists of the 20th century. He is best-known for his twelve-novel sequence, A DANCE TO THE MUSIC OF TIME (1951-1975), which won critical acclaim from the outset and, as it developed, brought considerable popular success. From 1948 to 1960 his five pre-war novels appeared in new editions, since when his entire fictional oeuvre has remained continuously in print. Powell's position, among the most distinguished members of what has been called "The Brideshead Generation," lends a particular interest to his discussions and reminiscences of contemporaries such as Evelyn Waugh, Orwell and Connolly. Also of interest are his writings on Hemingway, Scott Fitzgerald and E.E. Cummings; European masters such as Stendhal, Dostoevsky and Proust; and on English writers of an earlier generation such as Beardsley, Conrad and Kipling. This comprehensive, authorized bibliography aims to cover his entire printed output, beginning with drawings and reviews contributed to school and university magazines. Books written or edited, or with contributions by Powell are fully described and detailed information is given about their publishing history. Powell's many contributions to periodicals, magazines and newspapers are also recorded; as are published interviews, broadcasts, anthology appearances and translations of his books. When Anthony Powell was shown this bibliography he stated "George Lilley has gone about his job impeccably. I am both gratified and impressed." Illustrated.

11 volumes Amsterdam HES & DE GRAAF 1969 4to stiff paper wrappers. Different paginations.

Each monograph is written by a specialist on the subject, covers one specific area, and is fully illustrated.

(Private Libraries Association) Chambers, David (editor) A MODEST COLLECTION: PRIVATE LIBRARIES ASSOCIATION, 1956-2006.
Pinner, Middlesex Private Libraries Association 2007 6.25 x 9.75 inches hardcover 378 pages
First edition. Here, in the guise of a history of the Private Libraries Association, is an account of the friendships of its members over the past fifty years. They have all been collectors, with widely differing interests, from countries across the world, united by a love of books and the need to be surrounded by them at the end of a day's work and in all the years of retirement. The aim of the society is to bring together such enthusiasts and to offer them books and essays in the association's journal that would lead them further into the bibliophilic web. The enormous range of their interests adds vitality to the group's publications and creates a dynamic tension between the need to deal in sufficient depth with each subject and yet to interest other members whose collections have moved in quite different directions.
The book contains the story of the Association and a bibliography of its publications, but perhaps the most interesting portions are the brief essays by over eighty members about their collections, with photographs of many of these individuals and illustrations taken from the collections. Their specialties range from illustrated books and early private presses to Australiana, golf, the history of the automobile and surgery. There is a retail price index at the end of the book, which will prove very useful when recounting book prices over the last 50 years. This book is an enjoyable and valuable resource for book collectors everywhere. Distributed by Oak Knoll for the Private Libraries Association.

(Pyle, Howard) Davis, Paul Preston HOWARD PYLE: HIS LIFE -- HIS WORK
2 volumes. New Castle and Wilmington Oak Knoll Press and The Delaware Art Museum 2004 9 x 12 inches. hardcover, dust jacket. 906 pages.
At the dawn of the 20th century, Howard Pyle was America's most famous and influential illustrator. Through the illustrated pages of Harper's, Scribner's and Century magazines, the American public first became acquainted with the illustrator that they would come to love. Both by example and through his teaching, Pyle molded and influenced generations of young artists who have continued his unique vision of illustration far beyond his own lifetime. Published 93 years after the death of Howard Pyle, this book celebrates the enduring and far-reaching achievements of America's foremost illustrator. Illustrated with over 3300 images, this important research tool represents the complete record of all known Howard Pyle illustrations, hundreds of which have not been reproduced since their original publication over 100 years ago.
Paul Preston Davis, with exhaustive research and dogged perseverance, has produced a much-needed resource for the study of Howard Pyle and American illustration. His work greatly expands upon the data originally collected by Willard S. Morse and Gertrude Brincklé in 1921. For the first time, full-color images (approx. 1.25 x 2.25 inches) of each of Pyle's published and unpublished works are provided in a single source. Most importantly for the researcher, Davis has indexed and re-indexed the information, creating a tool that is as easy to use as it is valuable. This remarkable and comprehensive set of books embodies years of research and will be valued and treasured by researchers, scholars, librarians, and collectors alike. Co-published with The Delaware Art Museum.
