New York, NY The Typophiles 2003 8vo. stiff paper wrappers, cord-tied. 31+(1) pages.
Typophiles Monograph New Series #20. Known throughout the world of typography, Abe Lerner was a highly respected and talented typographer/book designer with links to the likes of the great Bruce Rogers. With a meticulous eye for detail and clean design, he was constantly working on new projects. With a career that landed him as the Director of Design and Production at Macmillan, President of the Typophiles, and lecturer at the Grolier Club in New York, Abe Lerner was certainly one of our finest typographic designers of the 20th century. Published as a tribute to this great typographer/book designer, this monograph is made up of nine short and nostalgic stories written about the man by friends and colleagues alike. They include Kit Currie, Ronald Gordon, Howard Gralla, Jonathan Hill, Eric Holzenberg, Roland Hoover, Martin Hunter, Herbert Johnson and Jerry Kelly. Also included is a poem written by Kenneth Auchincloss for a dinner honoring Abe Lerner at the Grolier Club, September 16, 1993. Distributed for the Typophiles.

(Pforzheimer, Carl H.) Unger, Emma V. and William A. Jackson CARL H. PFORZHEIMER LIBRARY, ENGLISH LITERATURE, 1475-1700.
3 volumes. New Castle, Delaware and Los Angeles Oak Knoll Press & Heritage Book Shop Inc. 1997 small 4to. cloth 1350 pages
Limited to 700 copies. Originally printed and limited to only 150 copies, this legendary three-volume work describes over 1,300 English literary rare books and manuscripts in the Carl H. Pforzheimer Library, one of the foremost American collections of early English literature, now housed at the Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center. The original catalogue, extremely difficult and expensive to find on the antiquarian market (normally priced around the $8,000 mark), fully describes all the books and manuscripts in Pforzheimer's collection of English literature, making it a most valuable reference for the scholar, researcher, librarian, book collector and bookseller. This work puts each description into various contexts: authorship, textual authority, sequence of editions and publishing history, reference concordance and rarity. The collection also gathers together the best books by the best authors in this period of English literature. Begun by Emma V. Unger and completed by William A. Jackson, the catalogue is primarily arranged in alphabetical order by author. Translations and anonymous books in most cases have been placed under the name of the translator or the attributed author. These can be readily found through full cross references and in the Index of Anonymous Books. In addition, a new addendum consisting of thirteen pages of books added later to the Library are included. Originally designed by Frederic Warde, Bruce Rogers completed the work with additional design and title pages after Warde's untimely death. After the acquisition of the Library by the University of Texas at Austin in 1986, many scholars, librarians and booksellers have urged the University to republish this catalogue. Now reproduced with great care and attention to quality, this new printing preserves Jackson's matchless style and Rogers's design. This edition is published jointly by Oak Knoll Press and Heritage Book Shop Inc. in a press run of 700 copies. The text is printed on quality 60 lb. Natural Smooth paper. The volumes are strongly bound in cloth with gold-stamped titles on the spines and the Pforzheimer monogram on the front boards.

(Rogers, Bruce) Boswell, James. PRIVATE PAPERS OF JAMES BOSWELL FROM MALAHIDE CASTLE, IN THE COLLECTION OF LT.-COLONEL RALPH HEYWARD ISHAM.
22 volumes, complete. N.P. n.p. (Ralph Heywood Isham printed by W.E. Rudge) 1928-1937 various sizes between 8vo. and large 4to. red paper-covered boards, paper spine labels, slipcases. Various paginations.
Printed in an edition limited to 570 numbered copies. (Haas no.153). One could call Boswell's diaries and private journals a kind of uncompleted "Life of Boswell," related in various ways to his other biographical enterprise. Certainly Boswell's habit of collecting concepts, conversations, characters and characteristics served him well later, and also make his private writings a source of information on personalities and social life in later 18th-century England. Unfortunately, most of these writings were long lost. They began to come to light again in the mid-1920's, and in 1926 the collector Ralph Heywood Isham (1890-1955) succeeded in acquiring a large number of Boswell papers, along with publishing rights, from Boswell's reluctant descendants. More discoveries of Boswelliana and their eventual purchase by Isham followed. Yale University acquired the entire Isham Boswell collection in 1949.
Isham planned an edition from the beginning, and in 1928 engaged Geoffrey Scott as editor, W.E. Rudge to print the edition, and Bruce Rogers to design the books. Rogers describes his design in the prospectus: "I have chosen a style flexible enough to accommodate the various papers, journals and documents comprised in the collection. No special effort has been made to secure an air of antiquity, but with the importation of a recent English reproduction of John Baskerville's famous eighteenth century types it was been possible to present the text in a form typographically harmonious with Boswell's individual mode of expression. The size of the different volumes is determined, as a rule, by the dimensions of the facsimile documents..." (Blumenthal p.105).
The full set ran to eighteen volumes, published 1928-1934. G. Scott died after completion of vol. 6, and F.A. Pottle took over the editing. This set also includes The Private Papers of James Boswell... A Catalogue by Frederick A. Pottle & Marion S. Pottle, London and New York: Oxford University Press, 1931 (limited to 415 copies), Boswell's Journal of a Tour to the Hebrides with Samuel Johnson, LL.D., New York: The Viking Press, 1936 (limited to 790 copies), Index to the Private Papers of James Boswell, London and New York: Oxford University Press, 1937 (limited to 1250 numbered copies). These three volumes are bound in a similar fashion to the eighteen volume set. Also present is the large original prospectus to the set which contains a lengthy statement by Bruce Rogers (folio, stiff red paper wrappers, 13 pages), the note that the original editor Geoffrey Scott had died (small 4to., stiff red paper wrappers, 6 pages), and Catalogue of an Exhibition of the Private Papers of James Boswell from Malahide Castle, New York: Grolier Club, 1931 (8vo., stiff paper wrappers, many pages).
There is uneven fading to the spines (remember that the set was issued over a long period of time). The supplementary volumes of 1931 and 1937 lack the slipcase.
