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.

Myers, Robin SPREADING THE WORD, THE DISTRIBUTION NETWORKS OF PRINT 1550-1850.
Winchester St Paul's Bibliographies and Oak Knoll Press 1998 8vo. printed paper over boards. (xiii), 241 pages.
Reprint of the 1990 first edition. Part of the Publishing Pathways Series. How did printed material in Britain get from producer to reader? What were the mechanics of supply by which individuals from varied social backgrounds came into contact with print culture? These are hard questions lying at the heart of what is sometimes called the new bibliography. Distribution is a complex line of book trade history because it leads out of the self-contained and familiar area of the printing office and bookshop into the often baffling regions of redistribution and consumption, where the evidence is often fragmentary.
London, with its ever-increasing output in this period of books, pamphlets, newspapers, ballads and ephemera, was always the dominant influence on the market. In this volume, however, the contributors are almost all concerned with aspects of the local trade in different parts of the British Isles and, in one essay, the trade between London and America via Scotland. They provide a series of detailed investigations into the distribution networks which supplemented those based in the capital, and in doing so they give a fresh view of the developing relationship between print and society over three centuries.

The works are arranged by school and are in chronological order. Dedicated to the King (George III), the Prince of Wales, and the Earl of Dartmouth.
