(Clark, William Andrews, Jr.) Cowan, Robert Ernest and William Andrews Clark, Jr. THE LIBRARY OF WILLIAM ANDREWS CLARK, JR., IN TWO PARTS - PART I: KELMSCOTT PRESS, PART II; THE DOVES PRESS, COLLATED AND COMPILED BY ROBERT ERNEST COWAN, ASSISTED BY... WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY ALFRED W. POLLARD... PRINTED BY JOHN HENRY NASH.
Mansfield Centre, CT Martino Publishing 2005 8vo. cloth (ii), xxxviii, (ii), 123 pages.
Reprint of the scarce first edition of 1921 printed by John Henry Nash, which was limited to 150 numbered copies (Besterman 5128). From 1914 through about 1930, the collector William Andrews Clark Jr. published twenty volumes of catalogues of selected items from his library. This volume lists Clark's collection of Kelmscott Press books and related items, and then lists the Doves items, for a total of one hundred eleven unnumbered entries for books and various sets of pamphlets, designs and catalogues. The lengthy introduction by A.W. Pollard deals mostly with Morris and his influence. Morris' "Notes" on the founding of the Kelmscott Press precede the Kelmscott listings; Cobden-Sanderson's farewell to the Doves ("Salve Aeternum Aeternumque Vale") precedes the Doves listing. A typical entry includes author and title, colophon transcription, physical description, edition statement, collation, information on printing and illustrations, and references.

Cloud, Gerald W. JOHN RODKER'S OVID PRESS: A BIBLIOGRAPHICAL HISTORY
New Castle, Delaware Oak Knoll Press 2010 7 x 10 inches hardcover, dust jacket 152 pages
This book is primarily a bibliographical study of all the known works printed and published by John Rodker (1894-1955) at the Ovid Press, London, 1919-1922, and the associated projects connected to his second imprint, the Casanova Society. The Ovid Press's output was not prolific - 17 known items were produced - but the nature of the works and the context in which they were created reveals a great deal about both Rodker and several central figures of modernist literature and art, including T.S. Eliot, Henri Gaudier-Brzeska, James Joyce, Wyndham Lewis, Ezra Pound, and Edward Wadsworth.

The book's introduction includes a biographical account of Rodker's life, focusing especially on his early life and his printing activities at the Ovid Press, which he operated with some participation from his then wife, the British novelist Mary Butts (1890-1937). Relying heavily on correspondence and other archival sources, such as Rodker's personal and professional papers and his diary, the introduction documents the production of many of the Ovid Press titles and Rodker's interaction with his authors.

The descriptive bibliography, which follows the introductory matter, includes full collations, detailed, copy-specific notes on each item, institutional locations for Ovid Press publications, and attempts to reconcile the discrepancies between Rodker's colophon statements and the books he actually printed-based on careful analysis of extant copies of Ovid Press titles. The book accounts for a number of unrecorded bibliographical details in these works and clarifies Rodker's role in the production of Ezra Pound's "Bel Esprit" and the errata sheets for Joyce's Ulysses (Egoist Press/John Rodker, 1922).

Gerald W. Cloud is Curator for Literature in Columbia University's Rare Book & Manuscript Library and Lecturer in English and Comparative Literature at Columbia where he teaches Bibliography and the History of the Book. He earned his Ph.D. at the University of Delaware (2005) and has served as a lab instructor for "Introduction to the Principles of Bibliographical Description" at Rare Book School, University of Virginia since 2004.

(Cobbett, William) Gaines, Pierce W. WILLIAM COBBETT AND THE UNITED STATES, 1792-1835. A BIBLIOGRAPHY WITH NOTES AND EXTRACTS.
Worcester American Antiquarian Society 1971 8vo. cloth, dust jacket. xxi, 249 pages
First edition. In the early 1790s, William Cobbett, an ex-plowboy and soldier, arrived in Philadelphia and set off a journalistic explosion. In an age of slashing and scurrilous pamphleteering, Cobbett, better known under the pseudonym of Peter Porcupine, proved to be the most hard-hitting, fearless, prolific and irrepressible bully-boy with pen and types that America had ever seen or possibly ever was to see. Pierce Gaines provides an in-depth guide to Cobbett's literary and publishing activities, covering all his writings published in America, all the items he issued as a publisher, and all those that he wrote or published elsewhere but that relate to America. Extracts are furnished from the original publications to convey their character and flavor. Though this is primarily an author bibliography, it also provides a racy account of journalism.

Cohen, Ben THE DELAWARE RIVER AND BAY 1600-1999: A SELECTIVE BIBLIOGRAPHY.
New Castle, Delaware Oak Knoll Press 2008 8.5 x 11 inches Hardcover 276 pages
First edition. This work is a new bibliography on the Delaware River and Bay by Ben Cohen, the author of similar bibliographies on the Thames and the Clyde. The author first became interested in the Delaware River when he read D.B. Tyler's The Bay and River Delaware, which refers to the Delaware as the "American Clyde." Tyler writes poetically of the Delaware: "Its upper reaches have the beauty and vigor of youth. When, at Trenton, it turns adventurously westward, growing bigger and straighter, it has the solidity and single-mindedness of maturity. At the end, when it swings southward to lose itself in the greater ocean, it takes on the grandeur and dignity of age conscious of its past." This comparison to the Clyde in Scotland, where Cohen was born, ignited the bibliographer's interest in the Delaware. The Delaware River and Bay bibliography includes chapters on photographs, bridges, maps, fish, ports and commerce of the Delaware, containing hundreds of annotated entries, and concludes with four useful appendices, including one on Delaware River shipwrecks. As with his other books, original title spellings have been retained for historical purposes. Author Ben Cohen, F.R.C.S., is a graduate of Glasgow University and bibliographer of The Thames, 1580-1980: A General Bibliography, first published in 1985, and The River and Firth of Clyde, 1549-1993: A Selective Bibliography, first published in 1995.

Provo Friends of the Brigham Young University Library 1995 small 4to. cloth, paper spine label. lxxxiv, 242, (4) pages.
First edition, limited to 750 copies. The first true Renaissance printer, Colines worked with the finest French book decorators and type designers to transform the French book. By using the format pioneered by Aldus Manutius, his press (1520-1546) published reasonably priced "pocket" classics, making them affordable by students and popularizing italic and cursive types in France. De Colines holds the distinction of having prepared the first critical text of the Greek New Testament, and the first printed in France. He produced the earliest accented Greek type in France, fifteen years prior to the Grecs du Roi. In 1528, de Colines introduced an elegant cursive, derived from Arrighi, followed by a smaller italic based on the Aldine. The 230 books described in this work, one-third of de Colines's actual production, illustrate de Colines's types, ornamental initials, printer devices and title borders. A catalogue of the books published and facsimiles of two of Colines's publisher catalogues are also included. Designed by W. Thomas Taylor. Illustrated.

Mansfield Centre, MA Martino Publishing 2006 8vo. cloth. xlix, 356 pages.
Reprint of the 1895 first edition published in Brussels. French Congo was the original French colony established in the present-day area of the Republic of the Congo, Gabon, and the Central African Republic. It began in 1880 as a protectorate, and treaties over the next decade established its borders with Cabinda, Cameroons, and the Congo Free State. In order to develop the colony, the government granted massive concessions to some thirty French companies. The companies were granted huge swaths of land on the promise they would be developed. This development was limited and amounted mostly to the extraction of ivory, rubber, and timber. These operations often involved great brutality and the near enslavement of the locals. Even with these measures, most of the companies lost money. Only about ten earned profits. Many of the companies' vast holdings existed only on paper, with virtually no presence on the ground in Africa. French Congo was temporarily divided between Gabon and Middle Congo in 1906 before being reunited as French Equatorial Africa in 1910 in an attempt to copy the relative success of French West Africa. Wauter's is the most comprehensive bibliography on the Congo, with some 3800 references.

(Connecticut) Johnson, Hazel A. CHECKLIST OF NEW LONDON, CONNECTICUT, IMPRINTS 1709-1800
New York The Bibliographical Society of America 1978 8vo. cloth xlviii, 492, (2)
According to the Introduction, this book attempts to record over 1,400 of the publications, almost all with exceptions noted, of New London printers from May 1, 1709 through the year 1800. The output of the several presses was surprisingly large because all the printing done between the spring of 1709 and the autumn of 1754 in the Colony of Connecticut was done in New London. Johnson also includes twenty-three British Royal coats-of-arms used on New London printings of colony laws from 1709 to 1775. The appendices include sections on the Rogerenes, newspapers published in New London in the 18th century, election sermons printed in New London, and New London printers and booksellers.
