Ashton, Jean EMERGING VOICES: AMERICAN WOMEN WRITERS, 1650-1920
New York The Grolier Club 1998 6 x 9 inches paperback 120 pages
This catalogue, made to accompany the exhibition held at the Grolier Club from March 11 to May 2, 1998, expresses the voices of American women writers through their books. The catalogue explores the movement of women writers in America, beginning with the homespun verse of Ann Bradstreet (the first volume of poetry published by any American) and closing with the appearance of Edith Wharton's highly polished "Age of Innocence" (winner of the 1921 Pulitzer Prize for the best American novel). It is intended to be an overview of the works of authors who reflect the historical concerns of women living in America and the emerging voice of the American woman writer. The book also includes a frontispiece in color and a full-page illustration in black-and-white. It was designed and typeset by Katy Homans, and printed by the Stinehour Press.

Austin, Gabriel THE LIBRARY OF JEAN GROLIER: A PRELIMINARY CATALOGUE.
New York The Grolier Club 1971 8.5 x 11 inches hardcover 137 pages
Jean Grolier can be considered a window to the history of French culture. He was interested in Italian and French scholarship, music and publications, antiquarian books, book collecting, and more. The Grolier Club has been named after this "prince of bibliophiles." This book is a groundbreaking study of the legendary bibliophile and patron of printing. Colin Eisler provides an informational and historical introductory study on Jean Grolier and the Renaissance that includes a full-page color illustration of Grolier's Painted Arms and Emblematic Device. It also contains eight full-page black-and-white illustrations including an Italian plaquette binding and various forms of Grolier's signature.

The bibliography includes books and essays that discuss Grolier bindings in different collections, in addition to contemporary references to Jean Grolier. The extensive catalogue lists books from the library of Jean Grolier, providing author, title, editor, imprint, size, provenance, booksellers, catalogues of private libraries and auction sales, and catalogues of institutional libraries. Entries are arranged alphabetically by author, Greek authors are listed in their English form, Roman authors in Latin form, and others in their colloquial form. The book was designed by Greta Franzen and printed by the Halliday Lithograph Corporation.

Babcock, Robert G. (editor) A BOOK OF HER OWN: AN EXHIBITION OF MANUSCRIPTS AND PRINTED BOOKS IN THE YALE UNIVERSITY LIBRARY THAT WERE OWNED BY WOMEN BEFORE 1700.
New Haven, CT Yale University 2005 4to. stiff paper wrappers 78 pages
Books tell us many things beyond what their authors write in them. Single copies of books, for instance, often reveal their particular history, who owned them, who read them, who gave them as gifts, how they changed hands over the years. This catalogue of the Beinecke Library exhibition, A Book of Her Own, explores an unusual aspect of book history: all of the books in the display, based on various sorts of evidence contained in the books, were owned by women before the year 1700.

(Bates, H.E.) Eads, Peter H.E. BATES: A BIBLIOGRAPHICAL STUDY.
New Castle and London Oak Knoll Press and The British Library 2007 6 x 9 inches hardcover 240 pages
Reprint of the first edition. Back in print! As a schoolboy, H.E. Bates (1905-74) decided to devote his life to writing and at the age of twenty-one published his first novel. Thereafter he wrote steadily: short stories, novels and journal articles on gardening and country matters. His collections of essays were illustrated by leading contemporary wood engravers, including Agnes Miller Parker and John Nash. During World War Two, as "Flying Officer X," H.E. Bates' writings on the exploits of RAF pilots and other members of the Air Force were phenomenally successful in the UK and USA. The novel, Fair Stood the Wind for France published in 1943, was an immediate success; and again in 1958, The Darling Buds of May, the first of four novels about the Larkins family, was a bestseller. Peter Eads gives full details of first editions of all Bates' work and adds comments from reviews and the writer's autobiography. Short stories, poems, essays and articles are listed chronologically, with full details of the journals and collections in which they were published. Co-published with The British Library.

(Beckford, William) Millington, Jon. WILLIAM BECKFORD: A BIBLIOGRAPHY.
London The Beckford Soceity 2008 6 x 9 inches cloth, dust jacket 414 pages
First edition. William Beckford (1760-1844) is remembered as the author of Vathek and the creator of one of the most significant buildings of the Gothic Revival, Fonthill Abbey. He was a man of many facets: art collector, bibliophile, traveller, builder, and landscape gardener. Sensing his destiny, just before his coming of age celebrations, Beckford wrote, "I fear I shall never be half so sapient, not good for anything in this world, but composing airs, building towers, forming gardens, collecting old Japan, and writing a journey to China or the moon."

This volume provides an annotated listing of all known publications, scholarly writings, traceable contemporary reviews, and published works related to the life and achievements of patron and collector, William Beckford. It also follows his numerous and diverse appearances in periodic literature, providing an essential reference tool for cross-disciplinary studies of Beckford. This bibliographic collection includes over 5,000 references to material published before 2006.

Serious interest in William Beckford has developed dramatically since the first exhibitions devoted to him (British Museum and Yale University Library) almost fifty years ago. He is now widely appreciated and studied not only for Vathek, which has been published in some 165 editions and in twenty languages since the first unauthorized edition in 1786, but also for his significant contributions to the history of collecting, artistic patronage, landscape gardening, architecture, and music.

Among the areas covered are contemporary accounts of and references to the long and troubled building of his legendary edifice, Fonthill Abbey. There is also a section dealing with the creation and history of Lansdown Tower, located in close proximity to his final residence in Bath. The bibliography includes references to the Beckford family, particularly Alderman William Beckford, Lord Mayor of London, and Beckford's circle of friends and contemporaries.

William Beckford: A Bibliography is the result of over thirty years of research executed by Jon Millington, the founding editor of The Beckford Journal, and a Beckford scholar.

Distributed for the Beckford Society.

(Bewick, Thomas) Tattersfield, Nigel THOMAS BEWICK, THE COMPLETE ILLUSTRATIVE WORK
3 volumes. New Castle, Delaware and London Oak Knoll Press and The British Library 2011 7.5 x 10.75 inches Hardcover, slipcase 1580 pages
Thomas Bewick can be called one of the best English exponents of wood engraving. Born in 1753, he grew up on a small farm, where his chores came second to his interest in the countryside, fishing, and watching birds and animals. These early passions set the stage for his future endeavors.

His early work of cutting soft wood for woodcuts eventually turned into fine detailed designs into hard wood. Beginning in the late 1700s onwards, Thomas illustrated many children's books with one of his most famous books, The History of British Birds. The book contained bird engravings and wood cuts and was an immediate success. Other major publications that helped solidify Bewick's success include The Chillingham Bull, Waiting for Death, A General History of Quadrupeds, and The Fables of Aesop and Others.

Bewick's celebrated histories of quadrupeds and birds of 1790, 1797, and 1804 have obscured the immense number of other books of all denominations illustrated in his modest workshop. From its inception in 1765 until its demise in 1849, the workshop provided illustrations to books, pamphlets, periodicals, and newspapers. The range of illustrations encompassed natural histories, children's storybooks, cookery books, religious tracts, spelling books, mathematical treatises, Bibles, agricultural manuals, local town and county histories, joke books, and even a book of sermons.

Generously illustrated and arranged alphabetically, this book details some 750 titles, over 450 of which are unrecorded in earlier bibliographies. In addition it provides sections on newspaper mastheads, book cover designs, copy-book covers, maps, and large single prints. Whether appealing to the Bewick aficionado, book historian, art historian, provincial printing enthusiast, or admirer of engraving on wood or copper, this will be an indispensable work.

Nigel Tattersfield is the author of Bookplates by Beilby and Bewick, published by Oak Knoll Press and The British Library and John Bewick: Engraver on Wood, published by Oak Knoll Press.

Available outside North and South America from The British Library.
