Myers, Robin PIONEERS IN BIBLIOGRAPHY.
New Castle, Delaware and Winchester Oak Knoll Press and St. Paul's Bibliographies 1996 8vo. paper over boards. 117 pages.
Reprint of the first edition. As the written output of European culture has continued to expand and diversify, the need to establish controls of the materials has also increased. The listing, description and analysis of texts, whether in manuscript or print, have engaged a long series of individuals in what can only be described as a heroic struggle. These individuals are the subject of the essays in this book, which reveal that all those researching the byways of book trade history, from the library cataloguers of medieval times to the dedicated scholar-librarians and historians of the recent past, can truly be said to have been "pioneers in bibliography."

Reprint of the 1858 edition published in München. An unsurpassed reference work of permanent value, to identify artists who sign themselves only by their monogram or similar device.

Arrangement is alphabetical. The total number of main entries is 14,961; the number of monogram facsimiles must be well over 30,000.

New York The Bibliographical Society of America 1993 small 4to. cloth. 299 pages.
This register collects, from annual city directories, about 5,000 names and 50,000 addresses of individuals and firms working in New York in the book trades and graphic arts areas during the period 1821-1842. It continues George L. McKay's similar work, published by the New York Public Library in 1942, which collected the names of craftsmen and artisans to 1820. The recorded occupations, addresses, firm names and other dated information provide help in dating undated books, papers and pictures, and in identifying anonymous printers, publishers artists and the like. The Register also provides a record of those who were engaged in more than 125 interconnected trades and professions, including calligraphers, compositors, editors, literary agents, map colorers, paper rulers, stereotypers, tract agents, wood engravers and many others. Though the bulk of the Register lists those active in printing, publishing and the distribution of books, the scope extends to all the graphic arts. The Register's listings linked to specific occupations are also brought together in one or more of 100 entries in an Index of Occupations. Institutions - libraries, museums, societies, book depositories, etc. - and periodicals are separately listed as well.

Notaker, Henry. PRINTED COOKBOOKS IN EUROPE, 1470-1700: A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF EARLY MODERN CULINARY LITERATURE.
New Castle, Delaware Oak Knoll Press & HES & DE GRAAF 2010 8.5 x 11 inches Hardcover, dust jacket 416 pages
First edition. This is the first bibliography to list all known editions of printed cookbooks published in Europe before 1700. More than a hundred titles in at least 650 editions were printed in fourteen different languages. Some household encyclopedias with culinary sections have also been included. Many of the editions described have never before been listed in modern bibliographies.

Cookbooks from this period are no longer only of interest to collectors and antiquarians. Food history is taught as an academic subject in an increasing number of universities, and this bibliography will be a useful tool for students of culinary literature, as a source for the history of cuisine and food culture. Also, book and literary historians are turning their attention to different forms of non-fiction that had not been properly studied until now: practical handbooks and didactic "how-to" books, of which cookbooks are distinctive examples. Information provided here about the locations of known copies, modern reprints, and facsimile editions will facilitate these studies.

The bibliography gives the full title and physical description of each work. Annotations provide details about contents, biographical data about authors and publishers, information about the sources of the recipes, translations, and plagiarisms. A historical introduction analyzes the development of the cookbook as a genre during the first two centuries of printing, with reference to authorship, publishing history, didactic methods, culinary processes, and differences in gender.

Henry Notaker, a literary historian, has written several books and articles about ancient cookbooks and food history, among them a bibliography of Norwegian cookbooks, published by the National Library of Norway. He is member of the editorial board of the journal Food and History
