Flamm, Eugene S. PRINTING AND THE BRAIN OF MAN: THE SIXTEENTH CENTURY BRAIN
New York The Grolier Club 2011 8 x 11 inches paperback 100 pages
One hundred books focusing on the anatomy and surgery of the brain, as it evolved up until 1600, are presented in this catalogue. The books included in the exhibition are fundamental works on surgery and anatomy, from which the present scientific field has developed. From the early sixteenth century onward, there were many books devoted to the brain, head injuries, and the skull. There were also many books that were published to guide the surgery necessary to explore the anatomy of the nervous system. Through his collection, Flemm has tried to foster an understanding of what sixteenth-century surgeons thought, what they wore during surgery, instruments used, what was considered innovative, and what ideas led to new developments. Examples of catalogues and bibliographies that list the works are also presented. The book is beautifully illustrated, contains a list of references, and includes an index of names and printers.

Franklin, Colin OBSESSIONS AND CONFESSIONS OF A BOOK LIFE.
New Castle, Delaware Oak Knoll Press, Books of Kells, and Bernard Quaritch, Ltd. 2012 6 x 9 inches hardcover, dust jacket 296 pages
Reminiscences of an author, bookseller, and publisher, written at the age of eighty-eight, Colin Franklin's newest book is perhaps his most entertaining. It wanders freely through themes which have absorbed him - a lost world of publishing, adventures in bookselling, and the irreplaceable scholarly eccentrics who dominated that world a generation ago. During his numerous trips to Paris, Japan, South Africa, and many universities in the United States, Franklin kept diaries of his accounts which have helped him to put together this new publication. The chapters represent a type of memoir recalling his various book interests developed during his life of publishing and bookselling.

Including serious essays on diverse characters who have fascinated him, the book discusses the Bowdlers and their 'Family Shakespeare'; William Fowler of Winterton, who neglected his humble calling and privately produced books of the greatest magnificence on Roman Mosaic Floors (when these were being discovered under England's green and pleasant land); a little-known Oxford antiquary and print-maker Joseph Skelton; the once-so-popular Robert Surtees and John Leech (much admired by Ruskin), who illustrated his novels; on the neglected theme of Binders' Lettering; and on his lifelong hero William Morris. There is also a new assessment of the Italian printer Giambattista Bodoni, whom Franklin considers to have been finest of them all. A satirical essay called 'Expert', in addition to the anecdotal and narrative style of text, make this an entirely enjoyable work, rich in illustrations and photographs.

Because of Franklin's exhaustive love for books, he has been able to handle some of the most outstanding examples of work he could ever desire. His passion for private presses, early color printings, early editions of Shakespeare, and beautiful Japanese scrolls, has led him to believe that most booksellers, collectors, and even librarians are guided by his or her taste rather than by calculation, just as he has been.

After wartime service in the British Navy, Colin Franklin graduated in English from St. John's College, Oxford and entered the publishing firm of Routledge and Kegan Paul. In middle life the decision was abruptly taken (with his wife's blessing) to quit publishing and turn bookseller. Franklin and his wife Charlotte had five sons and now live near Oxford where they recently celebrated their diamond wedding anniversary.
