(Rossetti, Christina) Ives, Maura CHRISTINA ROSSETTI: A DESCRIPTIVE BIBLIOGRAPHY.
New Castle, Delaware Oak Knoll Press 2011 8.5 x 11 inches Hardcover, dust jacket 380 pages
With the publication of her first book, Goblin Market and Other Poems (1862), Christina Rossetti (1830-1894) became the first of the Pre-Raphaelite poets to achieve critical success. Although Rossetti was (and still is) chiefly hailed as one of the century's leading poets, her accomplishments ranged beyond poetry to include essays, short fiction, and seven volumes of devotional poetry and prose. Frequently illustrated by her brother Dante Rossetti and other important Victorian artists, Christina's books also hold an important position in the history of Victorian book design and illustration.

As the first descriptive bibliography of Christina Rossetti, this book documents the full range of Rossetti's publication history, taking into account her books as well as her appearances in anthologies, periodicals, and hymnals, musical settings, and selected translations, ephemera, and Rossettiana. In addition to identifying a number of new publications, this bibliography provides a full account of the American printings of Rossetti's poetry collections, records a number of manuscript corrections or additions discovered in copies examined, and pays special attention to musical settings of her work. A substantial introduction provides an overview of her publishing history, identifies the bibliography's major findings, and explains the bibliography's format and terminology.

Christina Rossetti: A Descriptive Bibliography concentrates upon materials published before 1900, though selected later publications are also included. Locations are provided for all copies examined or known to exist, and presentation copies are identified. Section A is devoted to separate works wholly or primarily by Christina Rossetti, and provides complete bibliographical descriptions that incorporate current scholarly practices in the field. In this section, title page transcriptions, collation, pagination, plates, contents, typography, paper, running titles, bindings (including identification of the patterns and colors of binding materials), and publishing and printing details are provided for nearly 40 editions and sub-editions. Section B lists over 150 appearances in books, supplying title page transcriptions and supplementary notes on publication, illustration, and other matters, while Section C identifies over 150 periodical contributions by genre, providing full bibliographical citations and supplementary notes. Section D is divided into two parts, one for hymnals (published with or without music), and one for musical settings (including sheet music, song books, and music published in periodicals). Over 150 pre-1900 settings are listed, with a variety of details are provided for scores, including descriptions of sheet music covers or other title page equivalents; price; publisher's plate numbers; the length of the score in printed pages; initial key signature (expressed as numbers of sharps or flats), time signature, and tempo notations; reviews and notices of contemporary performances. Section E includes translations by or of Rossetti's work to 1900; selected printed ephemera; and selected other Rossettiana, including memorials, plaques, and commercially produced items.

A comprehensive index of poems allows readers to trace publication of poems across all sections of the bibliography. An index of prose and a general index are also included. The bibliography is illustrated with a 16-page insert of color plates.

Maura Ives is Associate Professor of English at Texas A&M University. Her essays on Christina Rossetti and on 19th century bibliography and textual studies have appeared in The Journal of Pre-Raphaelite Studies, Studies in Bibliography, PBSA, and Textual Cultures.

(Sabatini, Rafael) Knight, Jesse F. and Stephen Darley THE LAST OF THE GREAT SWASHBUCKLERS: A BIO-BIBLIOGRAPHY OF RAFAEL SABATINI.
New Castle, Delaware Oak Knoll Press 2010 6 x 9 inches hardcover, dust jacket 200 pages
A biography and comprehensive bibliography of novelist Rafael Sabatini (1875-1950) is being presented here for the first time anywhere. Sabatini is one of the most prolific and widely read novelists of the twentieth century, specializing in making history come alive through his fictional characterizations and his unique ability to use history as a background for fiction. Sabatini, half Italian but living and writing in England, was the master of romantic historical novels and has rightly been called by Jesse Knight "The Last of the Great Swashbucklers." He was so immersed in his writing of historical fiction that he often referred to himself as a "man out of his own time." Not only did he write interesting and well-told stories of romance and adventure, but he inspired movies that were just as popular has his books. Sabatini's three most popular swashbuckling stories, still being read today, are Captain Blood, The Sea Hawk, and Scaramouche, and each has been made into at least two movies. No author has better captured the imagination of so many with fiction filled with intrigues, escapes, romantic loves, devilish plots, and sword play.

This new book includes a thirty-page illustrated biography of the life of Sabatini written by the late Jesse F. Knight, who was the foremost expert on his life and works. It also contains a bibliography of the first US and UK editions, as well as other significant editions, of all forty-seven of his books, prepared by Stephen Darley. The bibliography also identifies all of the short story collections that have been published either in the US, the UK, or both. It describes all of the dust jackets, with color photos of many, which are important to collectors and sellers.

Book collectors and all who love Sabatini's fiction will find this book an invaluable guide for determining the accuracy of first edition offerings, for understanding what dust jackets are available, or for developing a library of Sabatini's novels.

Jesse F. Knight was a freelance writer for most of his life and crafted hundreds of short stories and articles. He was the foremost expert on the life and works of Rafael Sabatini, writing countless articles on the author, editing several collections of Sabatini short stories, and serving as president of the Rafael Sabatini Society. After a lifetime spent promoting romanticism, individualism, and all things heroic, he died in 2008 at the age of 62 in Vancouver, Washington.

Stephen Darley has a law degree from George Washington University and owned a real estate development and construction firm from 1972 until his recent retirement. Mr. Darley published a joint article with Jesse Knight on Rafael Sabatini in Firsts Magazine (March 2001), an article on Leslie Turner White in November 2004, and an article on Dale L. Morgan in June 2008. He has written articles on the Revolutionary War for three different historical publications and is currently completing a book on the 1775 expedition to Quebec led by Benedict Arnold. He lives in Connecticut with his wife Peggy.

(Sanford, John) Mearns, Jack JOHN SANFORD: AN ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY
New Castle, DE Oak Knoll Press 2008 6 x 9 inches cloth. 168 pages
First edition. Born Julian Shapiro in 1904 in Harlem, John Sanford was inspired to write by his childhood acquaintance Nathanael West. William Carlos Williams, Ernest Hemingway and James Joyce also were important early influences on Sanford's themes and style. But Sanford's work displays a style uniquely his own. Sanford authored 24 books, including novels, creative interpretations of history and several volumes of memoir and autobiography. His monumental five-volume autobiography was titled Scenes from the Life of an American Jew. Both Sanford and screenwriter Marguerite Roberts, his wife for over 50 years, were blacklisted during the McCarthy era in the 1950s. Just before Sanford's death in 2003, the Los Angeles Times called him "an authentic hero of American letters." Sanford's career as a writer was star-crossed. His first ten books were issued by ten different publishers. Sanford quarreled with editors and alienated people throughout the publishing industry. Each of his books represents the culmination of a struggle. Thus, for Sanford, perhaps more so than most writers, there is a story that goes with each book. This bibliography recounts those travails to chart Sanford's development into the unique writer he became. Annotations address style and content of the works described, as well as the often winding road these works took toward publication. There are three appendices, including indices of historical pieces and of his family members and acquaintances. This book will prove to be a valuable and interesting resource for scholars of American literature. Author Jack Mearns is professor of psychology at California State University, Fullerton. He has previously published Deadline News, a novel (iUniverse, 2006).

Houten HES & DE GRAAF 2010 9.5 x 12.5 inches hardcover, dust jacket 750 pages
The Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie (Dutch East India Company) was for a period of 200 years responsible for the navigation material for the journey between the Netherlands and the Far East and the inter-Asian trade. This book presents a never published before overview of chart material used on a VOC ship. The introduction provides information on the history of the VOC, the chart makers, the routes, and the navigation and instruments. All navigation charts of the VOC in the seventeenth and eighteenth century are drawn on vellum, and described and analyzed in an illustrated cartobibliography. Extracts of the 'groot-journalen' of the 'Kamer Amsterdam' are also included, providing a unique view of the total expenses of the VOC on navigation. Sailing for the East is part ten of the Utrecht Studies on the History of Cartography. Includes 600 full color images, CD-ROM with appendices.

Gunter Schilder graduated from Vienna University and has worked in the Netherlands at the Utrecht University on the history of cartography since 1971. In 1981 he was appointed professor of the history of cartography, a position he continued until his retirement in 2005. Schilder has written numerous publications on the history of Dutch cartography and discoveries, and as a result has agumented the knowledge of and appreciation for Dutch cartography in its Golden Age

Hans D. Kok attended the Dutch Government Civil Aviation Flying Training School and later joined KLM- Royal Dutch Airlines. His interest in navigation and maps stems from his early days of navigating across oceans and polar areas, practising the old techniques, using sextants and other specific navigational instruments. His map collection comprises maps and charts from 1560 till 1800, focusing on the sea-routes from Amsterdam to Jakarta, formerly Batavia, in the Dutch East Indies. He is currently on the Board of Editors of Caert-Thresoor in Holland, and is the Chairman of IMCoS, the International Map Collectors' Society in London.

(Schoonover, Frank E.) Schoonover, John and Louise Schoonover Smith with LeeAnn Dean FRANK E. SCHOONOVER CATALOGUE RAISONNE
2 Volumes New Castle, Delaware Oak Knoll Press 2009 9 x 12 inches 2 volumes, hardcover with slipcase 846 pages
First edition. Frank E. Schoonover (1877-1972) is recognized as one of the foremost illustrators of his time. His prolific contribution to American illustration spanned more than 40 years and included more than 2200 illustrations. His work appeared in most of the popular periodicals in the first half of the twentieth century, including Harpers, Scribner's, Saturday Evening Post, American Boy, Country Gentleman, and Colliers, as well as in over 150 books, particularly children's classics and contemporary fiction by such authors as Jack London, Edgar Rice Burroughs, Clarence Mulford, Lucy Foster Madison, James Willard Schultz, and Zane Grey. His iconic images of Hopalong Cassidy, Blackbeard, Jean LaFitte, Jim Bridger, Robinson Crusoe, Hans Brinker, Gulliver, Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, and Joan of Arc remain a testimony of his creative, artistic ability.

Born in Oxford, New Jersey, in 1877, Schoonover eventually attended Drexel Institute in Philadelphia where he was taught by the quintessential American illustrator, Howard Pyle. Also, the young artist was chosen to attend Pyle's summer school in Chadds Ford. With Pyle's help, Schoonover initiated his illustrative career in 1899 with four en grisaille oil paintings for the book Jersey Boy in the Revolution. He numbered them #1-4 as he began recording his works in the remarkable day books, a chronological, detailed account that he maintained for his entire career. After settling in 1900 in Wilmington, Delaware, the artist traveled widely in the United States and Canada, giving him a unique perspective and a rich reservoir of experiences, which he incorporated into many works. He subsequently became recognized as an expert on the indigenous tribes of the Hudson Bay area. When the popularity of illustration waned in the 1940s, Schoonover turned to landscapes and commissions including designs for magnificent stained glass windows. He was also a sought-after, accomplished art teacher for twenty-five years.

The two-volume, slip-cased Frank E. Schoonover Catalogue Raisonné embodies Schoonover's entire oeuvre, from his earliest sketches to his last easel paintings. The book is chronologically organized with the numeration based on his daybook entries. Included are over 3000 images, many in full color, a detailed biography with accompanying time line, information about his models and students, lists of exhibitions and the magazines he illustrated, two additional bibliographies, and three indices. It is comprehensive in scope and will stand as the pre-eminent record of Schoonover, his life, and his work.
