Myers, Robin and Michael Harris MILLENNIUM OF THE BOOK: PRODUCTION, DESIGN AND ILLUSTRATION IN MANUSCRIPT AND PRINT 900-1900.
Winchester & New Castle, Delaware St Paul's Bibliographies and Oak Knoll Books (1994) 8vo. printed paper over boards. 192 pages.
No. 8 in the Publishing Pathways Series. In this collection of essays, leading scholars investigate the ways in which the book as a physical artifact developed over ten centuries. In many respects, it is a story of impressive continuity. With the manuscript as with the printed book, the status of the text and the use to which it was to be put determined the design treatment and the format, scale and quality of the product. Scribes in Anglo-Saxon times can be seen to have been making decisions made by their counterparts in commercial publishing houses a thousand years later.
However, it is shown that after an initial period of overlap between manuscript and print there was a radical shift in form and design, as producers competed in a widening market and as production was transformed by mechanization. Illustration was no longer just for luxury books but became an essential element in publications aimed at the middling levels of society, and new ideas about the presentation of pictures integrated with text resulted. There were also commercial challenges to the workers in traditional crafts, particularly bookbinding, who were forced to adapt their practices to reduce cost and increase flexibility, whilst papermakers had to introduce fundamentally different products in order to meet huge increases in demand. By 1900, the interaction of market and industrial production methods had led inevitably to substantial diversification in the form and, arguably, an overall reduction in the quality of the book as a product. Well illustrated.

Myers, Robin, Michael Harris and Giles Mandelbrote (editors) PUBLISHING THE FINE AND APPLIED ARTS 1500-2000
New Castle, Delaware and London Oak Knoll Press and The British Library 2012 6 x 9 inches hardcover, dust jacket 224 pages
Next in the Publishing Pathways series, Publishing the Fine and Applied Arts examines aspects of the relationship between the business of print and the practice of art and design across five centuries. Leading specialists explore the role played by the book trade in the diffusion of artistic and architectural theory, fashion, and practice. Other essays trace the impact of aesthetic trends and advances in the techniques of binding, color printing, and illustration on the appearance of books themselves. Among the topics discussed are the printed sources for decorative motifs in sixteenth-century churches, the publication history of the works of Andrea Palladio, and the evolution of drawing manuals in seventeenth-century England. Other subjects include the library formed by the architect Sir John Soane, developments in nineteenth-century art publishing, and the role of printed catalogues in documenting the acquisitions made by English collectors of paintings, sculpture, and antiquities. Essays are from Mirjam Foot, Malcolm Jones, Charles Hind, Meghan Doherty, Susan Palmer, Abraham Thomas, Rowan Watson, and Charles Sebag-Montefiore. The book is illustrated in color and black-and-white.

Available in the UK from The British Library.

Oppen, Monica and Peter Lyssiotis (editors) THE SILENT SCREAM: POLITICAL AND SOCIAL COMMENT IN BOOKS BY ARTISTS.
Petersham Ant Press 2011 8 x 9.5 inches paperback 190 pages
The Silent Scream: Political and Social Comment in Books by Artists presents not only a companion catalogue to an exhibition held at the Monash University Rare Books Library, but also a journey through some of humanity's most inhumane and hypocritical moments. The catalogue provides insights into 77 influential books and works presented in book form in the past 90 years. Monica Oppen and Peter Lyssiotis, both practicing artists, lend their unique perspective in the social content and the techniques behind the production of these books.

The book begins with a short preface by Sarah Bodman about the messages that can be portrayed with written word. Throughout history, many texts and books have been banned, censored, and even burned in an effort to prevent their contents from spreading. This exhibition brings to light some of the bold texts that have survived time such as those that have endured wars and revolutions, sharing earnest petitions from poets, writers, and artists.

The catalogue presents phases of books by artists in three sections with an additional category for those works that stand on the periphery of the blurred line defining "artists' books." The sections are organized chronologically beginning in 1918 and extending to today. Sections include "Across Two World Wars 1918-1950," "Cold War in a Nuclear Era: Alienation and Engagement 1960-1990," Imperialism, Fundamentalism, Democracy, Oil, and its Shadow," and "Along the Tangent: Books on the Edge." Beginning with essays by Walter Struve, Scott McQuire, Humphrey McQueen and Des Cowley, the sections serve to analyze each period's distinctive characteristics.

In a field where few books cover such a wide range of work, The Silent Scream both educates and entertains through informed commentary. It focuses on a particular field of ideas: social and political, and on a particular area of book production: books made by artists. With over 200 color illustrations, this book is beautiful and formatted in an original style.
