First edition. Accompanying an exhibition of the same name at the Grolier Club in New York and at Winterthur, this beautifully illustrated exhibition catalogue includes essays and entries largely from the private library of Henry Francis du Pont, encompassing more than 87,000 volumes and 500,000 manuscripts and images.
With essays and entries about the founding of the library and all aspects of its collections, the book deals with subjects ranging from printed patterns of the 16th century to colonial-revival design drawings of the 20th. These five centuries of books, drawings and ephemera represent the work of artisans, manufacturers, advertisers and a wealth of other hands through which the material surroundings of our everyday lives have passed. Each highlights the ways in which library resources contribute greatly to the stories of decorative arts objects.
The Winterthur Library Revealed truly uncovers the wealth of the museum's rare books on American furniture and home decorations. Illustrated with over 100 color and black-and-white photographs with essays by museum staff. Co-published with the Winterthur Museum, Garden & Library.

Woodfield, Denis B. SURREPTITIOUS PRINTING IN ENGLAND, 1550-1640.
New York Bibliographical Society of America 1973 4to. cloth. ix, 203 pages.
This book deals with those books, pamphlets and broadsides in contemporary foreign languages, including French, Italian, Spanish and Dutch, that were surreptitiously printed in England before 1640. Each of the 65 works is discussed in one of the six chapters. Printers and printing historians will also enjoy the reproductions of the titles pages and all 305 printer's ornaments and initials used in every work except for one.
The introduction of this book attempts to present the story of the origins and development of surreptitious printing in foreign vernaculars in chronological form. Woodfield distinguishes between the word "surreptitiously printed" and "secretly printed" to describe these books as not illegal, but having meant to mislead the average reader, English or foreign, into believing that the work had been published in the country in whose language it was printed. A book in a foreign vernacular which was printed for the private order of a customer would also be considered to have been "surreptitiously printed" if it lacks an imprint. Some books may also have been printed because the author or patron decided to subsidize a possibly uneconomic edition. Included is a section on typography as well as a bibliography.

(Woolf, Leonard) Luedeking, Leila and Michael Edmonds LEONARD WOOLF: A BIBLIOGRAPHY
New Castle, Delaware and Winchester Oak Knoll Books and St Paul's Bibliographies 1992 8vo. cloth. xvi, 296 pages.
First edition. The first volume in the Winchester Bibliographies of Twentieth Century Writers series. The full stature of Leonard Woolf can only be appreciated by an awareness of all his writings and of the influence he exerted in the first half of this century. His book, International Government became one of the formative influences on the League of Nations; through his writings, he became the architect of the Labour Party's often enlightened foreign policy between the Wars; through his literary editorship of the New Statesman and his founding of the Political Quarterly, his integrity and clear thinking were widely manifest. Woolf's excellent judgement as the publisher at the Hogarth Press was no better shown than by his early awareness of the importance of Freud's ideas, whose complete works were published by the Press in translation. This bibliography of all Woolf's publications will certainly increase our appreciation of his abilities both as a writer and thinker. There are four main sections to the bibliography: Books and Pamphlets, Contributions to Books and Pamphlets, Contributions to Periodicals (of which there are approx. 1,000), and Manuscript Collections. There is also a chronology of Woolf's life and main works plus three appendices on various aspects of his writing. Leonard Woolf: A Bibliography will be welcomed by the ever-increasing number of Bloomsbury Group collectors and enthusiasts, as well as librarians and scholars in the field of literature and political history.

Wroth, Lawrence C. THE WAY OF A SHIP: AN ESSAY ON THE LITERATURE OF NAVIGATION SCIENCE ALONG WITH SOME AMERICAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE ART OF NAVIGATION 1519-1802.
Foreword by John B. Hattendorf Providence The John Carter Brown Library 2011 6.25 x 10 inches hardcover 204 pages
On the occasion of the 75th anniversary of its original publication, the John Carter Brown Library at Brown University has issued a new edition of Lawrence C. Wroth's Way of a Ship (1937), the foundational bibliographic essay on the literature of navigation science, along with a reprint of Some American Contributions to the Art of Navigation, 1519-1802 (1947). A prolific writer, well known for his graceful style and extensive historical knowledge, Wroth served as Director and Librarian of the JCB from 1924 to 1957.

The Way of a Ship has been celebrated for its graceful brevity in dealing with the complex history of nautical science. Its origin in an exhibition at the John Carter Brown Library is evident in the arrangement of the chapters, each of which provides a short exposition on topics such as "The Search for an Infallible Method of Determining Longitude," "Prime Meridians of Earlier Days," "Charts of the Ancient World," and "The Mariners Instruments."

Several more recent studies of early modern maritime history, science, and literature owe a great debt to the authority of Way of a Ship, but Wroth's essay has also served as the basis for the development of some of the most significant collections of books on the history and science of navigation, including the Henry C. Taylor Collection, now at the Beinecke Library at Yale.

For many years, Lawrence Wroth worked on a revision to Way of a Ship that never made it to publication. Professor John B. Hattendorf, the Ernest J. King Professor of Maritime History at the U.S. Naval War College in Newport, RI, has pieced together Wroth's manuscript notes and corrections to the original text to create this edition. To the revised essay, Hattendorf has added an index, a list of the books on navigation that are cited in the text, and a new Foreword. New reproductions of illustrations and title pages - from the Collection of the John Carter Brown Library -- are distributed throughout the volume, which was designed by Mark Argetsinger (Rochester, NY). Only one thousand copies were printed in the US by Capital Offset (Concord, NH). It is handsomely bound in navy blue cloth with gold stamping.

(Yale College Library) Mooney, James E. (editor) EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY CATALOGUES OF THE YALE COLLEGE LIBRARY
(New Haven, CT) Yale University 2001 8to stiff paper wrappers xxi, (224) pages
This book reproduces in facsimile each page of the printed catalogues of the Yale College Library issued in 1743, 1755, and 1791, accompanied by an index that identifies authors and titles and is keyed to these facsimile pages. The introduction tells the story of the early books of this collection from long before there was a Yale College Library in which to place them. It examines the legend of the "Forty Folios" and describes the major early gifts from Jeremiah Dummer, Elihu Yale, George Berkeley, and others that made it possible for the new college to build its collection without spending a cent for books. The use of the books during the 18th century is described and a comparison is made with similar catalogues of Harvard College. There is a list of selected sources used for this introduction as a guide for further study.

Zacharakis, Christos G. A CATALOGUE OF PRINTED MAPS OF GREECE 1477-1800.
Athens Sylvia Ioannou Foundation 2009 9.75 x 13.25 inches cloth, dust jacket 358 pages
In its third edition, this catalogue covers a period of more than 300 years of printed European cartography concerning Greece. With nearly 4,000 maps listed alphabetically by the makers names and 500 black-and-white illustrations, this is the most inclusive cartographical bibliography produced about Greece from the period of 1477 to 1800.

Maps are listed in alphabetical order under the name of the particular cartographer, publisher, and engraver. Variant maps also show some of the inaccuracies of the time including the Ptolemaic style of cartography for Greece.

An area of special attention is the Eastern Mediterranean basin, which has been the center of the civilized European world for many centuries. The cartographic descriptions of the region were especially necessary during ancient times, and relevant maps of the area were followed up and developed by the efficient Byzantine administration. Such rich material was later used by European cartographers of the sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth centuries.

Like any other scientific and artistic activity of the period under review, cartography was influenced by the intense interest in Greece and enhanced by the revival of Greek culture and the flourishing of classical studies during and after the Renaissance.
