Hunt, Arnold, Giles Mandelbrote and Alison Shell BOOK TRADE & ITS CUSTOMERS, 1450-1900: HISTORICAL ESSAYS FOR ROBIN MYERS.
Introduction by D.F. McKenzie. Winchester & New Castle, DE St Paul's Bibliographies & Oak Knoll Press 1997 8vo. illustrated, cloth, dust jacket. 334 pages.
Collected here as a homage to Robin Myers, respected book trade historian and editor of the Publishing Pathways Series devoted to studies in book trade and publishing history, these essays uncover the connections between the mechanics of the book trade and their human ends in the learning and transmission of knowledge. They show that the processes and materials involved in the production of books pave the way for larger economic and social issues ranging from business connections, patents, copyrights and their transfer, London's relations with Ireland and America, the Stationers' Company and what transpires when books pass into the hands of customers. This work also includes a memoir of Myers along with a bibliography of her published works.
Here in PART I: THE BOOK TRADE, the contributors discuss a variety of topics: Ann Greening on "A 16th-century stationer and his business connections: the Tottell family documents (1448-1719) at Stationers' Hall," Elisabeth Leedham-Green on "Manasses Vautrollier in Cambridge," David Pearson on "A binding with the arms of the Stationers' Company," Arnold Hunt on "Book trade patents, 1603-1640," Giles Mandelbrote on "Richard Bentley's copies: the ownership of copyrights in the late 17th-century," Michael Harris on "Scratching the surface: engravers, printsellers and the London book trade in the mid-18th century," Scott Mandelbrote on "John Baskett, the Dublin booksellers, and the printing of the Bible, c. 1710-1724," James Tierney on "Dublin-London publishing relations in the 18th-century: the case of George Faulkner," Michael Turner on "A list of the stockholders: the Stationers' Company's English Stock in the 19th-century," and Esther Potter on "The changing role of the trade bookbinder, 1800-1900."
PART II: THE CUSTOMERS include Christine Ferdinand on "Magdalen College and the book trade: the provision of books in Oxford: 1450-1550," Tom Birrell on "The library of Sir Edward Sherburne," Michael Treadwell on "Richard Lapthorne and the London retail book trade, 1683-1697," Alison Shell on "The antiquarian satirized: John Clubbe and the Antiquities of Wheatfield," James Raven on "Gentlemen, pirates and really respectable booksellers: some Charleston customers for Lackington, Allen & Co.," David J. Hall on "Francis Fry, a maker of chocolate and Bibles, and Eiluned Rees on "Art and craft: bookbindings in the National Library of Wales."

Isaac, Peter and Barry McKay (editors). THE MIGHTY ENGINE: THE PRINTING PRESS AND ITS IMPACT.
New Castle, Delaware Oak Knoll Press 2000 8vo. Hardback printed covers. 218 pages.
This fourth volume in the Print Networks series salutes the impact of the printing press. Taken from the proceedings of the Seventeenth Seminar on the British Book Trade held in Aberystwyth in July 1999, this collection of scholarly essays reminds us how authorities have tried for centuries to control the printed matter coming off the mighty engine, as well as the distribution of the material. Eighteen essays written from such authorities as: John Turner, Barry McKay, John Hinks, John R. Turner, David J. Shaw, Sarah Gray, David Stoker, Stacey Gee, Iain Beavan, Audrey Cooper, Diana Dixon, Margaret Cooper, Brenda Scragg, Philip Henry Jones, Richard Suggett, Chris Baggs and Rheinallt Llwyd. Illustrated. Co-Published with St. Pauls Bibliographies.

Isaac, Peter and Barry McKay (editors). THE REACH OF PRINT, MAKING, SELLING AND USING BOOKS.
New Castle, Delaware & Winchester, England Oak Knoll Press & St. Paul's Bibliographies 1998 small 8vo. Hardback printed covers. 230 pages.
First edition. Second volume of the series PRINT NETWORKS. More than a century has passed since W. H. Allnut's paper on provincial printing was presented at the meeting of the Library Association in 1878. This topic has now moved to the forefront of investigating the history of the book. The annual Seminar on the British Book Trade has been steadily developing the depth and breadth of its interests, encompassing the contemporary social, economic, educational, and cultural climates in which booksellers, printers, and their fellows operated.
Even today, few booksellers can support themselves solely by
the sale of books. In the earlier days, this was even more true, and so they engaged in a wide range of trades, including selling stationery, printing, and the sale of nostrums. Newspapers were also important sources of income, since their distribution networks were essential to the proprietors' survival. For much of the population, street literature was particularly significant. Two aspects of these ephemera - their contribution to the "oral tradition," and their crude illustrations - are explored here. The last three papers deal with the fact that we have so much printed matter to study is partly due to predecessors who formed libraries for their own use or for a wider readership. All these themes and more are included and explored in this work.

Joyce, William L., David D. Hall, and Richard D. Brown PRINTING AND SOCIETY IN EARLY AMERICA
Worcester American Antiquarian Society 1983 8vo. cloth, dust jacket. xii, 322 pages.
First edition. These essays have been written by leading scholars on early bookselling, reading habits and the impact of printing in early America. Printing history in its broadest context may be viewed as a distinct form of cultural history, a synthesis combining the attention to ideas that is central to intellectual history with the emphasis on patterns of behavior and organization characteristic of social history. This work encourages new approaches to the study of early printing, including the fusion of bibliographical analysis and the broadly cultural approach of the French historians of books and society. Together, the essays demonstrate how the world of print changed between the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries - both shaping and reflecting the larger American culture. Titles of the papers presented here include "The Uses of Literacy in New England, 1600-1850," "The Anglo-American Book Trade before 1776," "The Wages of Piety: The Boston Book Trade of Jeremy Condy," "The Colonial Retail Book Trade: Availability and Affordability of Reading Material in Mid-Eighteenth Century Virginia," "Bibliography and the Cultural Historian: Notes on the Eighteenth-Century Novel," "Early Music Printing and Publishing," Books and the Social Authority of Learning: The Case of Mid-Eighteenth-Century Virginia," "Elias Smith and the Rise of Religious Journalism in the Early Republic" and "Print and the Public Lecture System, 1840-1860." Most of the essays were originally prepared for an October 1980 conference of the same title sponsored by the American Antiquarian Society.

Kaye, Barbara THE COMPANY WE KEPT.
New Castle, Delaware Oak Knoll Press 1995 8vo. cloth, dust jacket. x, 224 pages and 18 illustrations.
Reprint of the first edition. In 1938, after three years of sharing a house in London with a moody, elderly Russian who translated Chekhov, Barbara Kaye and her husband, Percy Muir, move to a Tudor cottage in northwest Essex, in joyful anticipation of having a home to themselves at last. As she handles a young daughter, domestic crises, a garden, chickens and writes novels - Percy commutes to London to carry on his antiquarian book business at Elkin Mathews in Duke Street. Eighteen months later, on the eve of war, the business and staff join the exodus of evacuees from London to room with the Muirs, along with parents and dog, in their draughty and already over-crowded cottage. In this entertaining and very personal sequel to Percy Muir's MINDING MY OWN BUSINESS, Barbara Kaye describes the struggle to keep the firm of Elkin Mathews going while, as they host an egotistical author engaged on a book on women, an eccentric poet, the creator of James Bond and other friends who come for temporary refuge from the Blitz. Writers and artists living in northwest Essex at the time come into story, amongst them A.J.A. Symons, Marjorie Allingham and A.E. Coppard. The book also gives a vivid picture of war-time life in a village where American Forces were stationed.
