Offenberg, A.K. CATALOGUE OF BOOKS PRINTED IN THE XVTH CENTURY NOW IN THE BRITISH LIBRARY BMC PART XIII HEBRAICA
`t Goy-Houten HES & DE GRAAF 2004 11.25 x 15.25 inches hardcover 360 pages
The Catalogue of Books Printed in the XVth Century Now in the British Museum (British Library), generally referred to as BMC, is a monument in the history of the book. BMC followed on from the rearrangement of the Museum's incunabula begun by Robert Proctor on the basis of the comprehensive survey of printing types and presses of the fifteenth century that he had published in 1898 as an "Index" of the incunabula in the Museum and the Bodleian Library.
The Index represented a working-out of the system he had developed for the identification of printers of the incunabula period on the basis of typographical material. The volumes of BMC extend Proctor's principles by providing full descriptions of the incunabula in the collections of the British Museum and making revisions where necessary. The first part appeared in 1908, prepared by A.W. Pollard after Proctor's death in 1903. The most recent part was published in 1985. 50 leaves with facsimiles and other illustrations.

Parks, Roger (editor). WRITINGS ON NEW ENGLAND HISTORY: ADDITIONS TO THE BIBLIOGRAPHIES OF NEW ENGLAND HISTORY SERIES (TO 2001).
Worcester, Ma Committee for a New England Bibliography 2003 small 4to. cloth. xvii, 372 pages.
This 10th volume of the New England Bibliographies series represents the efforts of the Committee for a New England Bibliography and its editor, Roger Parks, to keep the series of bibliographies of New England towns, states, and the region current. It combines the entries of Volume 10, parts A, B, and C which were published for subscribers in 1998, 2000, and 2002. The entries are organized under geographical headings and numbered consecutively (replacing the provisional numbers used in the three parts distributed to subscribers earlier). A lengthy author and subject index has been added. The goal for Volume 10 has been to produce a comprehensive bibliography of writings on New England from 1994 (the cutoff date for Volume 9) through 2001. The editor has also continued to update and correct entries from earlier volumes and to cite older titles that have come to his attention.
The volume includes 4461 entries - indicating that writings on New England is a lively field and owning a complete set of these bibliographies is a valuable addition to a research library's reference shelf. The front matter includes location symbols for the books, pamphlets and dissertations listed in Volume 10.
The volume was compiled by Roger Parks who has been the editor since 1981 and is responsible for Volumes 5-10. The work is supervised by a committee of librarians and historians and funded by subscribing libraries. Distributed for A Committee for a New England Bibliography.

Parks, Roger (editor). WRITINGS ON NEW ENGLAND HISTORY: ADDITIONS TO THE BIBLIOGRAPHIES OF NEW ENGLAND HISTORY SERIES (TO 2010).
Thompson Committee for a New England Bibliography 2012 8.5 x 11 inches hardcover 474 pages
A new volume in the comprehensive bibliography of the history of New England is the product of recent research reflecting the richness and diversity of scholarship in and about the region and its parts. Volume 11 contains 5,475 new entries. With the publication of this volume, the series is current through 2010. Research has been conducted in more than 325 public, university, state, and other institutional libraries to compile some 2,000 additional entries for books, pamphlets, and dissertations relating to New England. This volume's bibliographical listing of histories of New England continues the work of the Committee for a New England Bibliography begun in 1968. The project was established by a group of librarians and historians seeking to provide ready access to the extensive historical writings about New England and its geographical entities. The first seven volumes offer bibliographies of each state, beginning with Massachusetts in 1972 through New England as a region in 1989. In order to bring the entire series up to 1989, the committee forged ahead to produce supplementary volumes. This is the fourth supplement. Just as its predecessors, it records publications about New England states, counties, and towns and New England as a region. The volume is fully indexed.

Roger Parks retired as the editor of the Papers of Nathanael Greene at the Rhode Island Historical Society. As editor of the New England Bibliography, he prepared the volumes for Rhode Island (1983), Connecticut (1986), New England (1989), and the four supplemental volumes (1989-2012).

New Castle, DE Oak Knoll Press 2004 8.5" x 11" cloth, hardcover. 1086 pages.
The first edition of this monumental work opens with a 170 page history of the Giunti publishing family that covers their achievements in Italy, Spain and France from 1489 to 1628. As the great rivals of the Aldine Press, the Giunti aggressively captured large portions of the lucrative governmental and Church's printing business. From their base in Florence and Venice, family members set up printing presses in Burgos, Salamanca, Madrid, Valladolid, Lerma and Lyons. In Spain they became printers to the most powerful King in the world and established "The Imprenta Real," changing their name to "Junta." The comprehensive, 700 page bibliography of the books they published while in Spain is annotated with more than 148 wood cuts of their ornate title page art, imprints, and other identifying ornaments. The text also features the genealogical charts of the family, library holdings, and a documentary chronology.

The author, William Pettas, has researched this early printing family for over twenty years, and this is his second work on this important clan. A very readable and valuable contribution to the history of the book and an important bibliography and reference work.

(Pforzheimer, Carl H.) Unger, Emma V. and William A. Jackson CARL H. PFORZHEIMER LIBRARY, ENGLISH LITERATURE, 1475-1700.
3 volumes. New Castle, Delaware and Los Angeles Oak Knoll Press & Heritage Book Shop Inc. 1997 small 4to. cloth 1350 pages
Limited to 700 copies. Originally printed and limited to only 150 copies, this legendary three-volume work describes over 1,300 English literary rare books and manuscripts in the Carl H. Pforzheimer Library, one of the foremost American collections of early English literature, now housed at the Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center. The original catalogue, extremely difficult and expensive to find on the antiquarian market (normally priced around the $8,000 mark), fully describes all the books and manuscripts in Pforzheimer's collection of English literature, making it a most valuable reference for the scholar, researcher, librarian, book collector and bookseller. This work puts each description into various contexts: authorship, textual authority, sequence of editions and publishing history, reference concordance and rarity. The collection also gathers together the best books by the best authors in this period of English literature. Begun by Emma V. Unger and completed by William A. Jackson, the catalogue is primarily arranged in alphabetical order by author. Translations and anonymous books in most cases have been placed under the name of the translator or the attributed author. These can be readily found through full cross references and in the Index of Anonymous Books. In addition, a new addendum consisting of thirteen pages of books added later to the Library are included. Originally designed by Frederic Warde, Bruce Rogers completed the work with additional design and title pages after Warde's untimely death. After the acquisition of the Library by the University of Texas at Austin in 1986, many scholars, librarians and booksellers have urged the University to republish this catalogue. Now reproduced with great care and attention to quality, this new printing preserves Jackson's matchless style and Rogers's design. This edition is published jointly by Oak Knoll Press and Heritage Book Shop Inc. in a press run of 700 copies. The text is printed on quality 60 lb. Natural Smooth paper. The volumes are strongly bound in cloth with gold-stamped titles on the spines and the Pforzheimer monogram on the front boards.
