(Bowyer) Maslen, Keith and John Lancaster (editor) BOWYER LEDGERS, THE PRINTING ACCOUNTS OF WILLIAM BOWYER FATHER AND SON REPRODUCED ON MICROFICHE WITH A CHECKLIST OF BOWYER PRINTING 1699-1777, A COMMENTARY, INDEXES AND APPENDIXES.
London and New York The Bibliographical Society and The Bibliographical Society of America 1991 tall 8vo. cloth. lxxv, (1), 616, (4) pages. Accompanied by 70 microfiche enclosed in a separate box
The Bowyer ledgers, kept by William Bowyer, father and son, between 1710 and 1777, offer vast new information concerning authorship, book production and book distribution in eighteenth-century London. They are among the few surviving from this period and for London, the center of the British book trade. More than 5,000 works by some 1,000 authors were commissioned by some 500 customers, including booksellers, institutions and private gentlemen, and were produced by several hundreds of workmen. Copies were delivered to more than 1,500 persons, members of the trade or representatives of the reading public at large. The ledgers record what happened to the text as it moved through the printing house, noting paper, types, format, corrections, number printed and the like. This edition of the Bowyer ledgers presents the records themselves in photo-facsimile on microfiche, accompanied by a volume of editorial material. The microfiches reproduce the four surviving ledgers and associated papers, prefixed with detailed descriptions of the originals. Distributed for The Bibliographical Society of America.

(Boyle, Kay) Chambers, Clark KAY BOYLE: A BIBLIOGRAPHY.
New Castle, DE Oak Knoll Press 2001 8vo. cloth 360 pages
First edition. This is the first comprehensive bibliography on American author Kay Boyle. The political active Boyle was one of the so-called "Lost Generation" of American expatriate writers in Europe between the World Wars. She traveled in the literary circles of James Joyce, Ernest Hemingway and Gertrude Stein. She wrote fourteen novels, nine short-story collections, three children's books, five collections of poetry and two collections of essays. The gifted writer was awarded two Guggenheim Fellowships and was a member of the American Academy of Art. The Academy recognized Boyle for her "extraordinary contribution to contemporary American literature over a lifetime of creative work." For Clark Chambers, the author of this bibliography, the challenge of researching this work has been a labor of love for more than ten years. We are proud to add it to our Winchester Bibliographies of 20th Century Writers series. Co-published with St. Paul's Bibliographies.

Accompanied by an original copy of BRADLEY HIS BOOK. New Castle, Delaware and Boston, Massachusetts Oak Knoll Press and Thomas G. Boss Fine Books 1995 8vo. quarter leather with paste paper over boards, leather spine label. Booklet is stiff paper wrappers held in porfolio. Both inserted in a cloth-covered clamshell box. xxiii, 216 pages.
First edition. One of 44 special signed and numbered copies. Will H. Bradley (1868-1962) is widely regarded as one of the masters of design during the Art Nouveau and Arts & Crafts periods. His typographic and illustrative work pushed the boundaries of these fields into new directions. In addition, his re-introduction and use of Caslon type brought it back into popularity. The guide includes 261 illustrations, including his designer's marks to help identify his pieces. The guide includes a Book Work section containing three parts: one of 81 definite books of Bradley's own execution, one listing those exhibiting the Bradley stamp but with no confirming documentation, and one listing those using his designs but were probably not produced by him. The remaining sections document magazine covers, advertisements, illustrations, posters, and other works.

Breugelmans, R. FAC ET SPERA. JOANNES MAIRE, PUBLISHER, PRINTER AND BOOKSELLER IN LEIDEN, 1603-1657. A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF HIS PUBLICATIONS.
One volume with a CD-rom containing the images of the title-pages `t Goy-Houten HES & DE GRAAF 2003 6.5 x 9.5 inches cloth 792 pages
During the seventeenth century, Holland`s Golden Age, printing and publishing became a flourishing industry. In Leiden, where the presence of a university contributed to that success, Joannes Maire built up, in the course of more than fifty years, a list of at least 527 titles, especially in the fields of medicine, theology and classical philology. Although he is nowadays chiefly remembered as the original publisher of René Descartes's Discours de la methode (1637), his contemporaries knew him better from his numerous editions of works of Desiderius Erasmus. Maire's cooperation in his earlier years as a publisher with the Raphelengii and Thomas Erpenius, professor of Oriental languages in Leiden, and the availability of his books at the fairs of Frankfurt and Leipzig spread his name rapidly in academic circles. Dr Breugelmans's book has several interesting elements. It is the first one to pay attention to a single Leiden printer/publisher on such a large scale. Extensive bibliographical descriptions of Maire's books form the greater part of this publication and the inclusion of their title-pages on a CD-rom is a novelty too. An introduction, giving substantial information on Maire and his authors and on other aspects of his list, such as the phenomenon of 'parallel editions,' supplies valuable further information on the working methods of a printer of that period. The inventory of Maire's estate proved to be an important source for his contacts with his colleagues, among them the Officina Plantiniana in Antwerp. Illustrated.

Bristol, Roger Pattrell. INDEX OF PRINTERS, PUBLISHERS, AND BOOKSELLERS INDICATED BY CHARLES EVANS IN HIS AMERICAN BIBLIOGRAPHY.
Mansfield Centre, CT Martino Publishing 2005 8vo. cloth. iv, 172 pages.
Reprint of the 1961 first edition published by the Bibliographical Society of America (Besterman 5196). This useful bibliography is a tool for use in conjunction with Evans, American Bibliography. Bristol has provided an index of printers, publishers, and booksellers to help navigate Evans when author-title information is not clear, or not properly transcribed. Bristol suggests that Evans made many attributions of author, publisher, and place of publication which have been found to be poor hunches. The index is an attempt to correct some of these errors. Names of printers and publishers are brought together under place, with no attempt to establish relationships or to differentiate between the individuals of the same name. Bristol was involved in updating Evans even further through supplements and indexes intended to make the information provided in Evans more accurate and accessible.

(Brown, John) Eddy, Donald D. BIBLIOGRAPHY OF JOHN BROWN.
New York The Bibliographical Society of America 1971 8vo. cloth. xxxi, 210 pages.
First edition. According to its Introduction, this bibliography describes all the first editions, including those published posthumously, of works written by John Brown. This is a man who can be studied in many ways. One can look at Brown as an 18th-century English author whose writings outsold comparable ones by Samuel Johnson; as a poet whose poems have been highly praised by critics ranging from William Warburton to R. D. Havens; and as an early "pre-Romantic" whose prose and poetry were instrumental in interesting the English in the Lake District. In politics, Brown can be viewed as a liberal Whig whose views on religion, female education, slavery, civil liberty and other topics make him a more representative figure of the times than many members of Johnson's circle, and as the author of some successful pieces of political rhetoric which were praised by many knowledgeable people, including Edmund Burke and Voltaire. In other areas, Brown could be studied as a man interested in the American colonies, perhaps as the earliest fundraiser for the University of Pennsylvania and Columbia University; as a leading proponent of utilitarianism; as an influential writer on education; as a writer of oratorios; as a polemicist; as a dramatist, closely associated with David Garrick; or as a fascinating personality. Except for four short poems, all of the items were first published separately. With three exceptions - one item by Brown, two of Browniana - all separately published eighteenth-century printings of later editions and translations are also described. The order of works is chronological according to the first edition's publication date. For each work, the editions are listed as London editions, Dublin editions, English language editions published elsewhere (i.e. Belfast, Edinburgh, Boston, Philadelphia or New York) and translations. This work also contains indices of booksellers, publishers and printers.

(Burns, Robert) Watkins, Larissa P. BURNSIANA: A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF THE WILLIAM R. SMITH COLLECTION IN THE LIBRARY OF THE SUPREME COUNCIL, 33°, S.J.
With a Foreword by Akram Elias, Grand Master of Free and Accepted Masons, Washington, D.C., Editor-in-Chief New Castle, Delaware and Washington, D.C. Oak Knoll Press & Library of the Supreme Council, 33°, S.J. 2008 8.5 x 11 inches hardcover 240 pages
First edition. Published shortly before the 250th anniversary of the birth of Robert Burns in 2009, this bibliography presents the unparalleled Burnsiana collection held by the Library of the Supreme Council of the Ancient & Accepted Scottish Rite, Southern Jurisdiction, USA, the most complete collection of Burnsiana in the United States. The William Robertson Smith Collection is the second largest compilation of Burns materials in the world, ranking only behind the collection maintained in The Mitchell Library in Glasgow, Scotland. In terms of American material about Burns, the Library of Supreme Council has the world's largest collection. The contents of this collection, compiled over a lifetime by William Robertson Smith, are available to American and international scholars, historians, literary critics and linguists.

For Masons, because both Robert Burns and William Robertson Smith were Masonic Brothers, this catalogue is meaningful as a living memorial to international Masonic fraternal and literary traditions. Because of the paucity of bibliographic literature illuminating Burns' involvement in Freemasonry, the work contains a biographic sketch entitled "Robert Burns-Freemason" written by Robert L.D. Cooper. From a historical, bibliographical, informational and aesthetic perspective, the Burnsiana catalogue has no analog among currently existing bibliographies. The catalogue is illustrated by the engravings of several generations of artists that provide an image of the Bard of Caledonia and the scenes of Scotland that he loved, and which inspired his creativity. This bibliography is a distinguished gift from the Fraternity of Freemasons in honor of the 250th anniversary of the birth of this distinguished Scottish poet and Mason, Robert Burns.

Larissa P. Watkins is Assistant to the Librarian at the Library of the Supreme Council in Washington, D.C. Educated in the Russian Federation as a journalist and librarian, she holds an honors degree in Library Science from the Cultural Sciences Institute of Higher Learning in Ussurisk, Primorskiy Krai, and was Director of Acquisition and Automation at the State Scientific Library in the Maritime Provinces in Vladivostok. In this capacity, she represented the Library administration at annual national conferences in Moscow and Leningrad. In Russia, her book The Men of Dal'zavod was written as the official history for the 100th anniversary of the Dal'zavod, the largest shipyard in the Russian Far East. In the USA, Larissa is a member of Masonic Library and Museum Association and the author of three fundamental bibliographies published by Oak Knoll Press and the Library of the Supreme Council: American Masonic Periodicals: 1811-2001; International Masonic Periodicals: 1738-2005; and Our Very Illustrious Brother, Abraham Lincoln.
