BSA Occastional Publications, No.1 New York The Bibliographical Society of America 2007 8.5 x 11 inches paperback 212 pages
Reformation pamphlets (or "Flugschriften") were among the first rare book acquisitions of American libraries. Gatch traces the remarkable history of the Leander van Ess collection purchased by the Union Theological Seminary in 1838, the first and largest collection of these religious tracts to arrive in America. He notes how they were originally obtained by van Ess, a Catholic priest, translator of the Bible, and a former Benedictine monk, who built an impressive personal collection of books and manuscripts when monastic libraries were being dispersed during the Napoleonic wars. Gatch has also identified a significant group of pamphlets assembled at Wittenberg during the 1520s, Luther's most creative period. Never before accurately described, the surviving pamphlets from this collection are listed here in the order of van Ess's own catalogue, with a set of indexes to authors and printers, and with concordances to major bibliographical resources. Gatch reviews the history Reformation pamphlet collecting in the United States from these earliest efforts up to the beginning of the twentieth century, and reflects on how these primary resources were used (or neglected) by American church historians. An extensive bibliography and a detailed index of the introductory essays are included. Illustrated. Distributed for the Bibliographical Society of America.

See More... Goodspeed, George Talbot THE BOOKSELLER'S APPRENTICE.
Philadelphia Holmes Publishing Co. 1996 8vo. cloth, dust jacket. xv, 181 pages.
First edition, limited to 750 copies. For nearly a century, Goodspeed's in Boston was one of the world's preeminent rare book shops. The firm was founded in 1898 by Charles Eliot Goodspeed, who recorded the shop's early history in his book, YANKEE BOOKSELLER, published in 1937. THE BOOKSELLER'S APPRENTICE is written by Goodspeed's son, George, who worked at the shop, first as an employee and then as its director for over 70 years from 1924 until the shop closed in 1995.
In this book, the younger Goodspeeed describes the rarities which passed through the elder Goodspeed's hands, great collectors with whom he dealt such as Frank B. Bemis, J. K. Lilly, and Carroll A. Wilson; his friendships with writers Robert Frost, David McCord, and Edmund Wilson. These reflective pieces provide much more than a continuation of Goodspeed's history; they are unique glimpses into one of America's most distinguished rare book firms.

See More... Herrmann, Frank THE ENGLISH AS COLLECTORS
New Castle Oak Knoll Press 1999 tall 8vo. cloth, dust jacket. 509 pages.
Reprint of the original edition, with corrections and a lengthy new introduction. This book is a unique and important source of information for those interested in the history of famous collections. Not only is the importance of collecting a growing factor in the history of art and antiques, but the details of provenance of objects traded on the art and antiques market are vital. In effect, the author has gone to the most revealing sources to produce a history of collecting in England and a study of the gradual emergence of the museum as a national institution.
ENGLISH AS COLLECTORS also offers interesting and compelling insight into the private lives of great collectors whose acquisitions became the nucleus of the foremost museums of Great Britain. Through 96 rare illustrations and 75 collector profiles, Herrmann goes behind the scenes to capture the drive, enthusiasm, and eccentricities of these patrons of the arts. In addition, this revised and expanded edition contains a useful and detailed bibliography of collecting history.
Since its first publication, ENGLISH AS COLLECTORS has become a classic in its field, and the first edition is now highly sought after. No other publication with so much detail has appeared to rival Herrmann's pioneering work. This volume is kept as a ready reference by those entrusted with the care of major private and public collections as well as those who organize exhibitions. This new edition has been issued because of continuing demand, and the author has contributed a well-written new introduction, brilliantly summarizing the state of private and "official" collecting today.
Frank Herrmann is a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries, and
the author of a Sotheby's history: SOTHEBY'S: PORTRAIT OF AN AUCTION HOUSEand THE NORTON-SIMON MUSEUM.
