New Castle, DE Oak Knoll Press 2002 8vo. cloth, dust jacket. 408 pages.
First edition. Low Profile is the autobiography of Frank Herrmann, author, publisher, one-time director of Sotheby's and founder of Bloomsbury Book Auctions. This unique work offers a tantalizing, behind-the-scenes look into the hidden worlds of Herrmann's life and his various careers.

Herrmann continues his story, describing his stormy career as a Sotheby's director and then becoming the founder of his own publishing company and antiquarian book auction house. This well-written text is illustrated with many rare photographs of the "movers and shakers" of the British publishing world.

Delivered at the Twenty-second Conference on the History of the British Book Trade Birmingham, July 2005 New Castle, Delaware and London, England Oak Knoll Press and The British Library 2008 6 x 9 inches Hardcover, dust jacket. 281 pages
First edition. This ninth volume of the Print Networks series contains twelve exciting chapters from scholars working on the connections between the parties involved in the production of print artifacts; from author to printer, publisher, bookseller and reader. Chronologically, the offerings range from the seventeenth to the twentieth century as they track the developing trade in England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland. Publishers and readers who spent part of their lives in North America are also featured in several of the chapters. The main theme emerging from this volume is the significance of cheap print, including newspapers and journals. The social, cultural, political and economic significance of these artifacts is highlighted by an in-depth examination of the lives of those men and women who participated in the book trade. Co-published with The British Library.

Available in the UK from The British Library.
