Mandelbrote, Giles (Editor) OUT OF PRINT AND INTO PROFIT
A History of the Rare & Secondhand Book Trade in Britain in the 20th Century New Castle, Delaware Oak Knoll Press & The British Library 2006 6.75 x 9.5 inches Hardcover, dust jacket 414 pages
First edition, first printing. Published to mark the centenary of the Antiquarian Booksellers' Association, this is the first book to map out the history of the rare book trade in the 20th century - the end of this period broadly coinciding with the end of an era in traditional bookselling and the arrival of the Internet. Twenty contributors describe and explain the ways in which booksellers acquired their stock and sold books to customers, bringing to life the personalities in this most individualistic of trades, and offer many insights into changes in taste and fashion in book collecting, during what was also a formative period for many of the world's most important research libraries, especially in North America.
Bibliographical scholars write alongside well-known experts from the book trade itself, drawing on a wide range of sources, including unpublished archives, marked sets of catalogues and the memoirs (published and unpublished) of members of the antiquarian book trade itself. The book contains reproductions of many period photographs and several useful reference aids, including a survey of book trade archives, a checklist of memoirs, and three indexes.
The book will appeal to historians of the book, and of 20th-century cultural and intellectual life, as well as to everyone interested in the world of buying and selling rare books, either as booksellers themselves or as readers and collectors. Co-published with The British Library.

Marrow, James H, Richard A. Linenthal, and William Noel THE MEDIEVAL BOOK: GLOSSES FROM FRIENDS & COLLEAGUES OF CHRISTOPHER DE HAMEL.
Houten HES & DE GRAAF 2010 8 x 11 inches Hardcover 468 pages
Presented on the occasion of Christopher de Hamel's sixtieth birthday, this book celebrates his many accomplishments during his years at Sotheby's and more recently as the Gaylord Donnelley Fellow Librarian of the Parker Library at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge. Christopher de Hamel has described more medieval manuscripts than any other living scholar. His sale catalogues have set new standards of quality, stimulating new generations of collectors, both institutional and private. Glossed Books of the Bible, his masterful and authoritative study of an entire class of books, demonstrates the ways in which book design played a central role in the study of theology in the Middle Ages. Other significant contributions include de Hamel's monograph on the manuscript collections of the Rothshild Family, his Roxburghe Club publication on the library of the Bridgettine Nuns of Son Abbey, and his Sandars Lectures on Sir Sydney Cockrell. His work covers all categories of scholarship on medieval manuscripts including book types and production, library and collection history, manuscript cataloguing, palaeography, and book illumination. In all areas, Christopher de Hamel was inspired by his passion for medieval books, manuscripts, and those who work with them.

The Medieval Book is a tribute to de Hamel's learning, industry, imagination, spirit, good fellowship, and capacity to inspire others. Among the contributors are collectors, colleagues, librarians, curators, and students of book history, in addition to scholars such as Jonathan J.G. Alexander, Nicolas Barker, Timothy Bolton, Lotte Hellinga, Anthony Hobson, James H. Marrow, Laura Nuvoloni, Bernard M. Rosenthal, Robert Weaver, and many others. The contributions are divided into categories including Books, The Book Trade, and Collectors and Collecting, composing a varied collection of 40 highly interesting articles. An introduction on Christopher de Hamel and a bibliography of his writings are also presented.
