New Castle, Delaware, and London, England Oak Knoll Press and The British Library 2009 7.5 x 9.75 inches Hardcover, 2 volumes 1,876 pages in 2 volumes, plus index on CD-ROM
This superbly comprehensive and detailed bibliography of the British book trade, the product of research in over three hundred libraries in the UK and USA, supersedes all bibliographies on British authors and authorship, bibliography itself, book collecting, bookbinding, book illustration, bookselling, censorship, copyright, libraries, literacy, papermaking, printing, publishing, textual criticism, and typography until 1890. More than 24,000 items (notably articles in trade journals) are lightly annotated and arranged in classified chronological order to illustrate the social and technological development of British book crafts and industries. Items are minutely indexed on the accompanying CD-ROM. Large areas of the history and practices of the British book trades are opened to scholarly study for the first time. British Book Trade, 1475-1890 belongs in every research library: no-one who works in the fields of British literature, bibliography, or book trade history should neglect this work.

Trevor Howard-Hill is Distinguished Professor of English Emeritus at the University of South Carolina, Columbia, SC. Besides his many publications on Shakespearean texts, Renaissance dramatic manuscripts, and textual scholarship are eight volumes of the Index of British Literary Bibliography (Oxford 1969-99).

Janssen, Frans A. DIBDIN IN PARIS (1818)
Houten HES & DE GRAAF 2008 9 x 12.5 inches boards, stamped in black & red with Bodoni ornament 48 pages
From April through September of 1818, Thomas Frognall Dibdin toured France and Germany visiting libraries, booksellers, collectors, bibliographers, printers, and publishers. What resulted from this trip was his report of 1821 entitled A Bibliographical, Antiquarian and Picturesque Tour in France and Germany.

This beautiful book gives an entertaining account of Dibdin's stay in Paris during his six-month bibliographical tour. Frans Janssen describes the bibliophile's visits to prominent representatives of the book world such as Renouard, Brunet, and Crapelet, their reactions to what Dibdin had to say, and Dibdin's responses. As well as the responses that Dibdin had to his critics. This title also includes a brief biography of Dibdin and five color illustrations in the text.

Written by an expert on book collecting, skillfully translated into English (Harry Lake), designed and typeset by a famous Dutch designer (Piet Gerards), and printed and bound by the finest Dutch craftsmen in their field, this little book is a true jewel.

Professor Emeritus Doctor Frans A. Janssen, born in 1939 in the Netherlands, has worked in the fields of textual criticism and librarianship, and was professor of Book and Library History at the University of Amsterdam from 1989 until his retirement in 2004. He published a series of books and articles on the history of printing techniques, typographical design, and book collecting. A selection of his articles appeared in 2004 in Technique and Design in the History of Printing, covering subjects as the printing press, the layout of books around 1500 and around 1800, English and French printers manuals, and neo-platonic and hermetic philosophy in book collecting.

Available outside North America from HES & DE GRAAF Publishers.

JOHN PIPER IN THE WATKINSON: AN ILLUSTRATED CHECKLIST
Hartford, Connecticut Watkinson Library, Trinity College 2011 10 x 8 inches paperback pamphlet 24 pages
To honor a gift given to the Watkinson Library by M. William McGill, this catalogue is an illustrated checklist of the works of British architectural and topographical artist John Piper. In the late 1920s, Piper attended both the Richmond School of Art and the Royal College of Art, and by the 1930s he was working steadily as an artist hardly earning a living. While his mother wrote articles for The Architectural Review to publicize his work, Piper developed a friendship with poet John Betjeman. This friendship significantly helped both of their professional careers. Piper's reputation continued to develop, and he eventually moved away from abstract art to a more representational style. Through his work, Piper learned how colors and textures reacted with one another, a concept continually displayed throughout his art.

This catalogue contains works by Piper, works about Piper, exhibitions and catalogues, miscellaneous Piper-ana, and works illustrated by Piper. It also includes an opening essay on Piper by William McGill. With both black-and-white and color images and a letterpress-printed cover, John Piper in the Watkinson is beautifully produced in a striking and appealing format.

(Johnson, Samuel) Eddy, Donald D. (editor) SALE CATALOGUES OF THE LIBRARIES OF SAMUEL JOHNSON, HESTER LYNCH THRALE (MRS. PIOZZI) AND JAMES BOSWELL.
With Introductions by Donald D. Eddy. New Castle, Delaware Oak Knoll Books 1993 8vo. quarter leather, paper over boards. (vii), 320 pages.
First edition, limited to 210 numbered copies. In studying great authors, one of the persisting lines of inquiry has involved questions of influence and association. What specific authors influenced our writer? What books has he read, quoted from, or owned? The obvious first way to answer these questions is to examine the author's own published writings. Other ways include examining the author's correspondence; letters of the author's friends and acquaintances; contemporary biographical accounts; locating the actual physical volumes owned by the author or presented to others, etc. An important part of this process is examining any available list of the books in the author's library. All too frequently - and this is true in the case of Samuel Johnson - the only list is the sale catalogue of his library prepared for the auction following his death. However hastily such a catalogue may have been prepared, and whatever its faults and omissions, it is still invaluable, since it presents the names of more authors and titles our author knew than any other source. It is for this reason that the three sale catalogues reproduced here, for the first time in one volume, are so important. Donald Eddy has provided a lively and informative introduction explaining the significance of each catalogue, some of the highlights of the sales and the dangers inherent in studying these catalogues. He also provides a list of known locations of each of these catalogues. The introduction has been printed by letterpress and the catalogues by offset lithography at The Ascensius Press. The book has been bound by Campbell-Logan Bindery.
