(Dickens, Charles) Smith, Walter E. CHARLES DICKENS: A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF HIS FIRST AMERICAN EDITIONS 1836 - 1870.
Calabasas David Brass Rare Books, Inc. 2012 8 x 10.75 inches hardcover, dust jacket 456 pages
This significant work identifies the first and early American editions of Charles Dickens's novels and Sketches by Boz and traces their publishing history, including various impressions and sub-editions, from 1836 to 1870, the year of Dickens's death. Each of the entries provides detailed textual data and binding descriptions and is supplemented by photographic reproductions of title pages and bindings. The notes contain interesting comments about the novels, including their appearances in newspapers and journals, typographical points, and payments made to Dickens.

The bibliography was compiled from firsthand examinations of the books at major libraries and institutions throughout the country, in private collections, and in the possession of several rare book dealers. The content complements and stylistically conforms to the author's previous two-volume bibliography on Dickens's English editions. The book is an indispensable source of reference for libraries, collectors, booksellers, researchers, and students of Victorian literature since no other work of this magnitude on Dickens's American editions has ever been undertaken or published.

(Dictionary of National Biography) Fenwick, Gillian CONTRIBUTORS' INDEX TO THE DICTIONARY OF NATIONAL BIOGRAPHY 1885-1901.
Winchester St. Paul's Bibliographies 1989 thick 8vo. cloth, dust jacket. xli, 413 pages.
First edition. One hundred years after its first publication, the DNB is still a valuable source of biographical information on over 30,000 famous names. With the continuing interest in the Victorian era the contributors themselves - over 600 of them - are now of as much importance as the subjects they wrote about. This is the first guide to the contributors: authors, academics, recognized authorities on their subjects, and, in many cases, young writers making their first appearance in print. This index lists contributors and their articles alphabetically, giving names, dates, DNB volume number, and page reference. Unsigned articles are listed separately.

(Doyle, Richard) Engen, Rodney K. RICHARD DOYLE.
Stroud Catalpa Press 1983 tall 8vo. cloth. 206 pages.
First edition. Volume 2 in The Artist and the Critic Series. The book illustrations and paintings of Richard Doyle (1824-1883) are populated by sprightly visions of fairy nymphs, elves and knights in search of their fair damsels. As `Dickey Doyle' and later `Dick Kitcat,' he produced a series of impressive boyhood triumphs from the now famous DICK DOYLE'S JOURNAL of 1840 to his first published work, THE EGLINTON TOURNAMENT. Doyle's talent for fantasy with pen and ink attracted Mr. Punch who offered him a place on his staff at age 19. There, alongside John Leech, he produced a seven year output of inimitable grotesques, borders, a new PUNCH cover, parodies of social events and the American Gold Rush, and his one overwhelming popular success, `The Foreign Tour of Brown, Jones and Robinson.'
All seemed set for a lifetime of success at PUNCH until the paper attacked the Pope and the Catholic Church, deeply upsetting Doyle's Catholic upbringing. He resigned in 1850 and turned his back on a comfortable future for the uncertain life of the freelance illustrator and painter. This he pursued with half-hearted dedication for the remaining 33 years of his life. This important reference book has been compiled from much unpublished material, including delightful boyhood letters Doyle wrote to his father and letters to famous friends like Dickens, Thackeray and Rossetti. It contains the first complete list of Doyle's illustrations for books and magazines and a list of his paintings.

Edwards, A.S.G. NICOLAS BARKER AT EIGHTY: A LIST OF HIS PUBLICATIONS TO MARK HIS 80TH BIRTHDAY IN 2012.
New Castle and London Oak Knoll Press and Bernard Quaritch Ltd. 2013 5.5 x 8.75 inches paperback 96 pages
Published in celebration of Nicolas Barker's eightieth birthday, this bibliography serves both as a collection of his writings and as a tribute to one who has inspired so wide and deep affection in so many.

Nicolas Barker's first bibliographical articles and reviews appeared in 1959. John Hayward, then the Editor of The Book Collector, was quick to grasp his potential. His first reviews appeared in that journal, and his first article for the journal, 'The Aesthetic Investor's Guide to Current Literary Values. An Essay in Bibliometry', had, Hayward reported, "called forth more favourable comment than almost anything we've published." It was the beginning of an unbroken association with a journal that he has made so distinctively an extension of himself, particularly since he became Editor in 1965. The extraordinary number of his articles, reviews, leaders, obituaries, and 'News and Comment' pieces in the journal has often shaped current bibliographical thinking.

But Nicolas's writings have increasingly ramified in their range and form. He has written extensively for more than fifty years for the Times Literary Supplement and for the Roxburghe Club, the bibliography of whose publications formed his first book. He has been a prolific obituarist, chiefly, but by no means only, for the Independent. The range of topics that has engaged him in other books and articles is astonishingly wide: medieval manuscripts, calligraphy, forgery, the book trade, typography, bibliophily, bookbinding are simply some of the more recurrent interests that his publications reflect. The cumulated record of his publications represents an achievement of extraordinary scope.

Elliot, Jock A HA! CHRISTMAS: AN EXHIBITION AT THE GROLIER CLUB OF JOCK ELLIOTT'S CHRISTMAS BOOKS
New York The Grolier Club 2000 8.5 x 11 inches paperback 96 pages
Jock Elliot began collecting books after he returned home from World War II. His deep love for Christmas encouraged him to collect books about Christmas in England and America. When he began collecting, he was purchasing one book a month, sometimes even buying new books daily. Now, even as has become more selective in his purchases, he has acquired a collection of more than 3,000 books related to Christmas. Most of his books are first or only editions, and he has purchased other "firsts," including the first illustration of a Christmas tree and the first illustration of St. Nick by Thomas Nast.

This book was created to accompany the exhibition held from December 6, 1999 to January 29, 2000. It traces the historical development of Christmas through 600 years of Christmas books, from a fifteenth-century illuminated miniature of the Nativity to How the Grinch Stole Christmas. All books are from the collection of Jock Elliot. It includes numerous illustrations including book covers and famous pictures presentations. The book was designed by Jerry Kelly and printed by the Stinehour Press.

(Eragny Press) Beckwith, Alice H.R.H. ILLUSTRATING THE GOOD LIFE: THE PISSARROS' ERAGNY PRESS, 1894-1914
Preface by Alan Fern New York The Grolier Club 2007 8 x 11 inches paperback 70 pages
This is a catalogue of books, prints, and drawings related to the work of the Lucien Pissarro of the Eragny Press. Pissarro was a pioneer of private press printing in England, whose work had a pastoral, French feeling that came across through his unique use of color, wood engraving, and colored title page borders. Pissarro often used smaller trim-size for his volumes, while also printing on smooth, less-bulky paper.

This publication explores the beauty and harmony of his prints, his use of tools and techniques, his love songs and poetry, and the Eragny Press influence on the United States. It is beautifully and subtly designed to evoke the press's characteristic style and use of color. It includes 39 illustrations with 28 in color. The catalogue was the winner of a 2008 Katharine Kyes Leab & Daniel J. Leab American Book Prices Current Exhibition Catalogue Award.
