(Lowry, Malcolm) Woolmer, J. Howard MALCOLM LOWRY, A BIBLIOGRAPHY.
Revere, Pa. Woolmer Brotherson Ltd. 1983 8vo. cloth, dust jacket. xiv, 183 pages.
This is the first descriptive bibliography of the works of Malcolm Lowry, author of Under the Volcano, one of the masterpieces of 20th-century literature. Volcano has gone into more than 40 printings in its various English language editions, as well as having been translated into 19 other languages. Under the Volcano was the centerpiece of a work in progress to be called The Voyage that Never Ends, a work that Lowry did not live to finish. When it first appeared in 1947, it was hailed everywhere as a major publishing event. The bibliography describes all of Lowry's books and pamphlets, listing every printing of each edition. Each of the book entries is illustrated with photographs of dust jackets, title pages, and copyright pages. There are 23 listings for contributions to books, 224 for contributions to periodicals, including descriptions of all of Lowry's contributions to his school paper, and 73 foreign language books and periodicals. Radio, television, film, recordings, and song lyrics are also fully described. Well-illustrated. Distributed by Oak Knoll Press

(Madagascar) Grandidier, Guillaume BIBLIOGRAPHIE DE MADAGASCAR 1500-1903.
(Mansfield Centre, CT Martino Publishing n.d. but 2001) 8vo. cloth viii,433+(1); (v),436-905+(1) pages
Facsimile reprint of the first volume only that contains works from 1500-1905 and was originally printed in Paris by the Comite de Madagascar in 1905-1906 (Besterman (3645). The written history of Madagascar began in the seventh century A.D., when Arabs established trading posts along the northwest coast. European contact began in the 1500s, when Portuguese sea captain Diego Dias sighted the island after his ship became separated from a fleet bound for India. In the late 17th century, the French established trading posts along the east coast. In 1817, the Merina ruler and the British governor of Mauritius concluded a treaty abolishing the slave trade, which had been important in Madagascar's economy. In return, the island received British military and financial assistance. British influence remained strong for several decades, during which the Merina court was converted to Anglicanism and Congregationalism. The British accepted the imposition of a French protectorate over Madagascar in 1885 in return for eventual control over Zanzibar (now part of Tanzania) and as part of an overall definition of spheres of influence in the area. Absolute French control over Madagascar was established by military force in 1895-96, and the Merina monarchy was abolished. Grandidier's bibliography is the most extensive bibliography on the subject in Besterman with 7402 bibliographical references cited.

(Marion Press) Larremore, Thomas A. and Amy Hopkins Larremore THE MARION PRESS, A SURVEY AND A CHECKLIST.
With Incidental Alarums, and Excursions Into Collateral Fields. Checklist by Joseph W. Rogers. New Castle, DE Oak Knoll Books 1981 8vo. cloth, dust jacket. xxii, 271 pages.
Reprint of the 1943 first edition which was printed in a very small number. Frank E. Hopkins set up a press in the attic of his "Red House" in Jamaica, New York in 1896 and named it after his daughter Marion. He printed the first announcement of his press a few months after the death of William Morris and continued printing until his own death in 1933. Unlike most of the founders of private presses in the 1890s, who drifted into printing from other fields, Hopkins was already well schooled in the practical aspects of the printing business. Forced to leave college for financial reasons after his father fell ill he found a job working for the De Vinne Press as a proofreader. The book designs that he subsequently created for De Vinne were among the finest produced by the firm and are generally considered those publications on which De Vinne's considerable reputation was built. Although Hopkins died in relative obscurity, his works remain as an example of the quality of fine printing in America at the turn of the century. Amy and Thomas Larremore, daughter and son-in-law of Frank E. Hopkins, have written a sensitive, in-depth account of his life including an even-handed evaluation of his typography and design work at the Marion Press. In addition Joseph W. Rogers has compiled a detailed, descriptive, bibliographical checklist of Hopkins work at the Marion Press.
