Crawford, Mary E. and Bruce J. Crawford MARY WEBB: NEGLECTED GENIUS
2, With contributions by Gladys Mary Coles and Thomas A. Goldwasser. Illustrations by William Bishop. New York The Grolier Club 2010 6 x 9 inches hardcover, slipcase 234 pages
Mary Webb was an extraordinary poet well known for her writings about the English countryside and rural England. Webb recorded her own observations while making readers feel as if they were living in her landscape. Webb brought people closer to nature with vivid expressions of the outdoors. She wrote in a lyrical quality with her characters encompassing emotions of sympathy, love, joy, and genuine pleasure. She has been reviewed as a poet with excellent work.

Mary Webb: Neglected Genius is a two-volume hardcover slipcased set. The set was published to accompany the exhibition held at the Grolier Club from January 27 to March 13, 2010, and then at Stanford University from May 17 to August 29, 2010. Attempting to bring more attention to the lesser-known works, the catalogue includes the only extant manuscript of a Mary Webb novel, Armour Wherein He Trusted; a letter of appreciation from Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin; a group of letters from Webb to her future mother-in-law; and the manuscript of Clematisa & Percival, an unpublished story written by her as a teenager and reproduced here in the accompanying volume.

The catalogue also includes a foreword, a critical assessment by Bruce J. Crawford, an essay on how Mary Crawford came to collect Webb's work, and a retrospective on collecting Webb by Thomas A. Goldwasser. Containing descriptions of her work, the book is also richly illustrated and includes a selection of poems. The reproduction of Clematisa & Percival is exquisitely illustrated by William Bishop.

(Cyprus) Cobham, Claude Delaval EXCERPTA CYPRIA, MATERIALS FOR A HISTORY OF CYPRUS WITH AN APPENDIX ON THE BIBLIOGRAPHY OF CYPRUS.
(Mansfield Centre, CT Martino Publishing 2001) 8vo. cloth (vi), 523+(1) pages
Reprint of title originally published by Cambridge University Press in 1908. (Besterman 1550). Three centuries of Ottoman rule, characterized by the almost complete spiritual and cultural isolation of Cyprus from Europe, let the country fall into a state of economic, social and cultural decline. In 1878, Cyprus was handed over to Great Britain, although this was still a time of harsh exploitation of the Cypriots. This volume is a collection of papers printed between 1892 and 1895 as a supplement to the Owl, a newspaper published in Nicosia, the capital. Cobham collected and translated these papers in an effort to provide materials for a history of Cyprus. The end of the book is a bibliography with approximately 1000 titles on the subject. Index.

Danforth, Susan (editor) A. MATTER OF TASTE: DISCRIMINATION IN NINETEENTH-CENTURY BOOK COLLECTING
Catalogue of an Exhibition of Rare Books from the John Carter Brown Library Providence The John Carter Brown Library 2008 8 x 11 inches cloth 86 pages
Curated by Susan Danforth, the exhibition that formed the basis for this catalogue demonstrated how the urge to collect, preserve, and ultimately share books can, however subtly, affect the physical character of the book itself. With a focus on acquisitions made in the nineteenth century - including several made by founder John Carter Brown - this exhibition uses selections from the Library collection to illustrate some of the effects that taste and trends in book collecting have had on the book as an object.

Some typical practices of the era-such as the use of book brands, ink library stamps on title pages and elaborate bindings-did not affect the integrity of the book as an expression of an idea, but according to Danforth, other practices are more problematic. The nineteenth-century collector's acceptance of "sophistication" (the gathering together of bits and pieces of several copies of a publication to make one "complete" volume) is a concern to scholars interested in textual integrity. Similarly, the use of carefully constructed facsimiles to complete imperfect books encouraged the specialized talents of artists and printers; the work of these skilled craftsmen could fool the eye of the casual observer and sometimes cause consternation in scholars' and collectors' circles. Knowledge of these past practices is helpful to today's scholars who use rare books as research material.

The JCB exhibition has been grouped into four broad categories: identification, embellishment, restoration, and an exploration of the challenges presented by facsimiles. Among the items on display are long-collected books published by Aldus Manutius and Theodor DeBry, as well as a section on the Aldines. The latter group of special books was actively collected as early as the sixteenth century and just as enthusiastically presented to the buying public in forged editions.

de Dampierre, Jacques ESSAI SUR LES SOURCES DE L'HISTOIRE DES ANTILLES FRANÇAISES (1492-1664)
Mansfield Centre Martino Publishing 2004 tall 8vo. cloth. [v], xl, 239 pages.
Facsimile reprint of the original 1904 edition (See Besterman 6526-6527). The French Antilles form two French overseas provinces (Départements), one being the island of Martinique, the other Guadeloupe. The French half of the island of St. Maarten/St. Martin is part of Guadeloupe.
The first inhabitants several hundred years before Christ were the Arawaks, an Indian tribe. They became extinct around the 9th century at the hands of the Karibs. Columbus's fleet landed on Guadeloupe on November 3, 1493. The Spanish showed little interest in the island, which they though inhospitable, and, as a consequence, the first settlers were French farmers, mostly from Normandie, the Bretagne or the Charente. Farming was not profitable at first, so the island was sold to Charles Houel, who started the economic growth of the island with plantations of sugar, coffee and cocoa. Later, the island was owned by the Compagnie des Indes, then by King Louis XIV. The island survived attacks by the Dutch and was also occupied by the British.
During the 18th century, it was a haven for buccaneers and residents of the Caribbean islands lived mostly by attacking and looting foreign cargo.
This early bibliography is one of the most extensive on French possessions in the Caribbean and has never been reprinted previously. 1000 items are described.

de Keller, Auguste ELENCHUS LIBRORUM DE APIUM CULTURA BIBLIOGRAPHIE UNIVERSELLE D'APICULTURE
Mansfield Centre Martino Publishing 2003 small 8vo. cloth. 229 pages.
Facsimile edition of Elenchus Librorum De Apium Cultura Bibliographie Universelle D'Apiculture originally published in Milan in 1881 by Ulrich Hoepli. De Kellers work is the first bibliography on apiculture, or beekeeping. The Feminin' Monarchi' or the History of Bees by Charles Butler, 1634, London, is considered the greatest of the early British bee books. Modern beekeeping had its inception in L. L. Langstroth's development of his movable-frame hive, patented in 1852. Langstroth's genius was to recognize the importance of bee space for optimal hive design. Langstroth (1810-95), a native of Philadelphia, at an early age took such an extraordinary interest in observing the habits of insects that he was punished for wearing holes in the knees of his pants while learning all he could about ant life. Although the first book on beekeeping printed in America appeared in 1792, it was based on the work of an Englishman. Various short works followed, many of which promoted patented hives. Thomas Miner wrote the first comprehensive guide for American beekeepers in 1849, a treatise that has always been overshadowed by the works of three giants of American beekeeping who followed him: L. L. Langstroth, Moses Quinby and A. I. Root. In all, 2250 titles are described. The arrangement of the work is alphabetical. An extremely scarce imprint. No copies are for sale online, and the title has never been reprinted. Contains 2 leaf pages. Besterman 436.

(Dibdin, Thomas Frognall) Windle, John and Karma Pippin. THOMAS FROGNALL DIBDIN 1776-1847: A BIBLIOGRAPHY.
New Castle, Delaware Oak Knoll Press 1999 6 x 9 inches cloth. 309 pages.
First edition. This is the definitive bibliography of one of the most influential figures in the annals of 19th-century book collecting. Dibdin was the self-proclaimed "father of bibliomania" and founder of the legendary Roxburghe Club. With his great love for books, he visited and studied the foremost collections in Great Britain and Europe. Dibdin's writings give today's collectors a unique window into early 19th-century collecting. Dibdin's books have appealed to many of the greatest of English and American collectors, especially inspiring the giants of 19th-century collecting to high levels of enthusiasm for early books and manuscripts. If it were not for this interest, many of these works would not have been saved and preserved, and the world of book collecting would certainly be different today. The most lavish of Dibdin's works, THE BIBLIOGRAPHICAL DECAMERON, marked the "highwater mark of Dibdin bibliomania," stated William A. Jackson, author of THOMAS FROGNALL DIBDIN, AN ANNOTATED LIST. However, one of Dibdin's most extraordinary achievements may have been THE LIBRARY COMPANION as "history's most voluminous exponent of footnote-authorship as a literary genre in itself," as described by Renato Rabaiotti in HORAE BIBLIOGRAPHICAE CANTABRIGIENSES. Today, this work is still endearing to Dibdin's devotees for its irrepressible flow of idiosyncratic and obscure anecdotes - that is, at least for those who are not bothered by Dibdin's bibliographical inaccuracies. And yet, these inaccuracies have become irrelevant for many 20th-century collectors in the desire to collect Dibdin's works. A growing interest in books by Dibdin has reached levels where collectors need to know if copies under consideration are complete. This new bibliography will inspire new collectors to begin collecting, intermediate collectors to improve their holdings, and advanced collectors, librarians, and book specialists to review and expand their collections as they will feel necessary.

(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.
