  Myers, Robin and Michael Harris (editors) GENIUS FOR LETTERS: BOOKSELLERS & BOOKSELLING FROM THE SIXTEENTH TO THE TWENTIETH CENTURIES
Winchester & New Castle, DE St Paul's Bibliographies & Oak Knoll Press 1995 8vo. printed paper over boards. 188 pages.
By the mid-eighteenth century bookselling was established as the key factor in the book business. On the one hand, booksellers were at the center of the interlocking range of associated activities involved in the manufacture and distribution of a multi-form product. On the other hand, they helped to shape the consumption of print in the market, responding to and guiding the taste of readers as customers.
Printers, binders, authors, and readers never achieved the corporate force and solidarity of the booksellers who, in England, early on dominated the London Stationers' Company. It was as `publishers' in its increasingly specialist sense of the marketing and distribution of texts, that this commercial sector acquired its authority in the long term. As the owners of valuable copyrights the leading London booksellers laid the foundation of a commercial interest which was never seriously challenged.
The contributors to this volume unravel some of the complexities of the trade organized by business people working at different times and different places but all pursuing what might be called the logic of the market place through the sale of books. Topics include booksellers and bookbinders by Anthony Hobson; Italian bookselling in the eighteenth century by Luigi Balsamo; booksellers and bookshops in late seventeenth-century London by Giles Mandlebrote; and circulating libraries, booksellers and book clubs 1870-1966 by Simon Eliot. Head of spine bumped. Spot on free endpaper.

New York The Bibliographical Society of America 1993 small 4to. cloth. 299 pages.
This register collects, from annual city directories, about 5,000 names and 50,000 addresses of individuals and firms working in New York in the book trades and graphic arts areas during the period 1821-1842. It continues George L. McKay's similar work, published by the New York Public Library in 1942, which collected the names of craftsmen and artisans to 1820. The recorded occupations, addresses, firm names and other dated information provide help in dating undated books, papers and pictures, and in identifying anonymous printers, publishers artists and the like. The Register also provides a record of those who were engaged in more than 125 interconnected trades and professions, including calligraphers, compositors, editors, literary agents, map colorers, paper rulers, stereotypers, tract agents, wood engravers and many others. Though the bulk of the Register lists those active in printing, publishing and the distribution of books, the scope extends to all the graphic arts. The Register's listings linked to specific occupations are also brought together in one or more of 100 entries in an Index of Occupations. Institutions - libraries, museums, societies, book depositories, etc. - and periodicals are separately listed as well.
