(Carter, John) Dickinson, Donald C. JOHN CARTER, THE TASTE & TECHNIQUE OF A BOOKMAN
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.

CENTRALVEREIN FÜR DAS GESAMMTE BUCHGEWERBE
Leipzig Centralverein (etc.) 1893 small 4to. sewn, stiff paper wrappers. viii, 55 pages.
Funding problems in 1893: Our Museum of the German Book Industry (which is not just some local Leipzig concern!) is such a success that it has outgrown its support, despite assistance from the government of Saxony, the Börsenverein der dt. Buchhändler, et al. Please a)join our organization, b)send money, or c)donate "suitable objects" for the Museum. A brief sketch of the history of books in manuscript and print to 1800 follows, with references to the museum collection and hints for would-be donors. This is followed by a section on the graphic arts in the current (i.e. 19th) century, and a list of donors. Covers soiled, chipped, detached. The binding is failing and the book is dissociating into individual gatherings.
