(Center for Book Arts) MASTERS OF THE CRAFT: WORKS BY INSTRUCTORS OF BOOK ARTS.
New York Center for Book Arts 1994 square 12mo. stiff paper wrappers 24 pages.
This is a catalogue for an exhibition held in New York from January 14 to March 25, 1994, which contained the work of printers, bookbinders and papermakers who are all instructors of the book arts, as well as artists in their own right. Some of the participating artists were Marcia Ciro, Nadja Press, Peter and Donna Thomas, and Mary Phelan. Contemporary book artists have long appreciated the great value of learning bookmaking from an accomplished master of the form, yet recognized that the best teacher is not the one who merely has the technical expertise to create a well made object, but rather the artist who is able to reveal an original sensibility in his or her work. Though this exhibition affirmed a collective respect for the traditions of bookmaking among all whose book works are shown, it also demonstrated the power of the book to express the unique vision of each artist. These works were created by the craftspeople that link us to the history of the book as they inspire a new generation to define the book in their own time. Photocopied catalogue with translucent endpaper and blue paper covers.

Christianson, C. Paul A DIRECTORY OF LONDON STATIONERS AND BOOK ARTISANS 1300-1500.
New York The Bibliographical Society of America 1990 8vo. cloth. 254 pages.
The history of the book trade in Medieval London before the age of print has long remained a matter of speculation. Few records survive that name the book artisans and entrepreneurs involved with this early trade venture or that document directly their methods of producing books and creating markets for them. In this directory, C. Paul Christianson assembles an extensive body of alternative data drawn from archival documents that identifies 262 participants in the London trade during a period of 200 years. This group includes stationers, manuscript artisans (called limners), textwriters, bookbinders, parchment sellers, and other London citizens active in book production and sale. This book provides a summary of information about the independent book craftsman working in London during this period. Four appendices contain indexes, and two maps, one modern and one from the sixteenth century, illustrate the historical area of the craft community around St. Paul's. Manuscripts and books cited are also listed. Designed by Abe Lerner. Distributed for the Bibliographical Society of America.

Clark, John Willis CARE OF BOOKS AN ESSAY ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF LIBRARIES AND THEIR FITTINGS, FROM THE EARLIEST TIMES TO THE END OF THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY.
Mansfield Centre, CT Martino Publishing 2004 8vo. cloth xxvi, 352 pages.
Reprint of the 1901 first edition (Webber p.46). Clark attempts to trace the methods used throughout the ages to preserve, use and make accessible printed books or manuscripts. He is mostly concerned with the position, size and arrangement of the rooms that housed these treasures and with the progressive development of fittings, catalogues and other appliances that facilitated the access and use of the books. There is not much written on this subject, and Clark's work remains a standard text in the field. There are chapters on Assyrian Record Rooms, libraries in Western antiquity, Christian libraries, monastic collections, Italian libraries, the wall system, suppression of the monasteries, Vatican libraries, and private libraries. Includes 156 illustrations.

Danforth, Susan (editor) A. MATTER OF TASTE: DISCRIMINATION IN NINETEENTH-CENTURY BOOK COLLECTING
Catalogue of an Exhibition of Rare Books from the John Carter Brown Library Providence The John Carter Brown Library 2008 8 x 11 inches cloth 86 pages
Curated by Susan Danforth, the exhibition that formed the basis for this catalogue demonstrated how the urge to collect, preserve, and ultimately share books can, however subtly, affect the physical character of the book itself. With a focus on acquisitions made in the nineteenth century - including several made by founder John Carter Brown - this exhibition uses selections from the Library collection to illustrate some of the effects that taste and trends in book collecting have had on the book as an object.

Some typical practices of the era-such as the use of book brands, ink library stamps on title pages and elaborate bindings-did not affect the integrity of the book as an expression of an idea, but according to Danforth, other practices are more problematic. The nineteenth-century collector's acceptance of "sophistication" (the gathering together of bits and pieces of several copies of a publication to make one "complete" volume) is a concern to scholars interested in textual integrity. Similarly, the use of carefully constructed facsimiles to complete imperfect books encouraged the specialized talents of artists and printers; the work of these skilled craftsmen could fool the eye of the casual observer and sometimes cause consternation in scholars' and collectors' circles. Knowledge of these past practices is helpful to today's scholars who use rare books as research material.

The JCB exhibition has been grouped into four broad categories: identification, embellishment, restoration, and an exploration of the challenges presented by facsimiles. Among the items on display are long-collected books published by Aldus Manutius and Theodor DeBry, as well as a section on the Aldines. The latter group of special books was actively collected as early as the sixteenth century and just as enthusiastically presented to the buying public in forged editions.
