    With an introduction by Robert D. Fleck. New Castle, DE Oak Knoll Books 1989 8vo. cloth, dust jacket. (iv), xviii, (4), 172; x, 52 pages.
    See S-K 7060 and 7074. Reprints Binding Variants in English Publishing 1820-1900(1932) and More Binding Variants(1938) in one volume. The first title was originally the sixth volume in the highly regarded ten volume Bibliographiaseries edited by Michael Sadleir. Along with Sadleir's The Evolution of Publishing Binding Styles, 1770-1900it has become one of the most difficult titles to procure. More Binding Variantsoriginally appeared in paper wrappers as part of a series entitled Aspects of Book-Collectingand has proven to be more elusive than the original work. These two important works trace the history of the development of the bindings with emphasis on how detective work can often yield interesting conclusions on the priority of issue for both the bibliographer and collector. The general study is followed by specific examples of Carter's research applied to an array of nineteenth century first editions. Included are works by Ainsworth, Bronte, Browning, Carroll, Collins, Dickens, Hunt, Meredith, Shelley, Stevenson, Trollope, and many others. Carter's comments on methods of dating bindings, library bindings, jobbing and remainder publishers, and other curious aspects of publishers' bindings are essential in the study of this subject. With 16 black and white illustrations. Jacket scuffed at bottom.

    New Castle Oak Knoll Press 2004 8vo. cloth, dust jacket. 422 pages.
    First edition. Preface by Sebastian Carter. Throughout his professional career, John Carter, 1905-1975, was recognized as one of the most important figures in the Anglo-American book world. He was known as an imaginative book dealer, a creative bibliographer and a stylish and thoughtful writer. In 1934, after working for several years in the London book trade, he achieved instant fame, along with his co-author Graham Pollard, for An Enquiry into the Nature of Certain Nineteenth Century Pamphlets, a brilliant piece of detective work that exposed Thomas J. Wise.
    Carter quickly built up a circle of friends, including Frederich Melcher, the editor of Publishers' Weekly and Elmer Adler, the editor of The Colophon. With those useful connections, he was able to publish over a dozen articles on bibliography and the rare book trade before he was thirty years old. Critics agreed that Carter's writing was characterized by precision, elegance and wit. Among his best known publications were Taste & Technique of Book Collecting and his popular glossary, ABC for Book Collectors. He was, above all, an articulate spokesman for the pleasures and challenges of book collecting. Contains a full checklist of John Carter's publications. Well-illustrated. This work will be appreciated by all bibliophiles who are interested in 20th century bibliophilia.
