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.

(Doves Press) Tidcombe, Marianne THE DOVES PRESS.
New Castle, DE Oak Knoll Press 2003 small 4to. cloth, dust jacket 272 pages
First edition. This highly-researched work is the most authoritative account of the first and most famous private press of the 20th century - the Doves Press. Starting its operation in the wake of William Morris, the Doves Press became a major influence in the development of modern book design. Marianne Tidcombe reveals the intriguing story of the cutting of the famous Doves Type, the printing of Paradise Lost, Paradise Regained, and The English Bible. Also included is the saga of Cobden-Sanderson's short and stormy partnership with Emery Walker. Recounted in detail, this blusterous relationship ultimately lead to a final episode where Cobden-Sanderson throws the Doves type into the River Thames to prevent it from falling into Walker's hands after his death. A detailed, descriptive bibliography of all the books and papers printed at the Doves Press along with a list of all ephemeral items is provided. Richly illustrated with 18 color and 124 black-and-white illustrations.

Marianne Tidcombe has spent over thirty years researching the Doves Press. She is also the author of Women Bookbinders 1880-1920 (Oak Knoll Press 1996). This book is out of print.

Howard-Hill, T.H. THE BRITISH BOOK TRADE, 1475-1890: A BIBLIOGRAPHY.
New Castle, Delaware, and London, England Oak Knoll Press and The British Library 2009 7.5 x 9.75 inches Hardcover, 2 volumes 1,876 pages in 2 volumes, plus index on CD-ROM
This superbly comprehensive and detailed bibliography of the British book trade, the product of research in over three hundred libraries in the UK and USA, supersedes all bibliographies on British authors and authorship, bibliography itself, book collecting, bookbinding, book illustration, bookselling, censorship, copyright, libraries, literacy, papermaking, printing, publishing, textual criticism, and typography until 1890. More than 24,000 items (notably articles in trade journals) are lightly annotated and arranged in classified chronological order to illustrate the social and technological development of British book crafts and industries. Items are minutely indexed on the accompanying CD-ROM. Large areas of the history and practices of the British book trades are opened to scholarly study for the first time. British Book Trade, 1475-1890 belongs in every research library: no-one who works in the fields of British literature, bibliography, or book trade history should neglect this work.

Trevor Howard-Hill is Distinguished Professor of English Emeritus at the University of South Carolina, Columbia, SC. Besides his many publications on Shakespearean texts, Renaissance dramatic manuscripts, and textual scholarship are eight volumes of the Index of British Literary Bibliography (Oxford 1969-99).

Published by Oak Knoll Press and The British Library, in association with The Bibliographical Society and The Bibliographical Society of America.

Juvenal DECII JUNII JUVENALIS AQUINATIS SATIRAE DECEM ET SEX [ORNAMENT] AULI PERSII FLACCI SATIRA SEX.
London n.p. (printed by C. Whittingham) 1845 small 4to. contemporary full calf, boards ruled with foliat and double fillet roll motifs, rims of boards and turn-ins with gilt roll pattern, all edges gilt, five raised bands, red spine label, gilt-tooled spine panels. (198) pages.
Printed as an Eton prize book for 1845. Sixteen satires of Juvenal, and six by Persius. Printed by Whittingham (whose device follows the text) at Chiswick. This book is a minor footnote in the history of printing, as it was at one time regarded as the first use of Caslon old-face in the 19th century (see Keynes' Pickering bibliography, p.31), though that is no longer the case. Each page is printed within a red border composed of ornaments within a frame of inner and outer single fillets; the title page border differs from that of the other pages. First page is a printed presentation with the name of "Alderson" filled in and the date altered by hand from 1841 to 1850. Bookplate of Livraria de Palha on front pastedown. Front board detatched. Minor foxing confined to first and last leaves.

Krupp, Andrea BOOKCLOTH IN ENGLAND AND AMERICA, 1823-50
New Castle and London Oak Knoll Press and The British Library 2008 8vo. stiff paper wrappers 102 pages
This volume offers a new edition of Andrea Krupp's groundbreaking article, which first appeared in the Papers of the Bibliographical Society of America, and includes an expanded Catalogue of Bookcloth Grains, with illustrations in a larger format and, for the first time, in color. Sue Allen has written the preface for the book. Ms. Krupp's three-part essay, with several illustrations, covers the introduction of bookcloth and the early decades of its use, discusses bookcloth grain nomenclature and concludes with detailed observations on several cloth grain patterns. The first of three appendices is an information-dense table that lists each grain pattern with date range and frequency and provides cross references to previous nomenclature. Appendices 2 and 3, which together comprise the Catalogue of Nineteenth-Century Bookcloth Grains, include images of the various grains, reproduced at actual size. In this edition, the number of catalogue entries has been expanded from 222 to 248. The swatches are printed in color, and many of the ribbon-embossed patterns in Appendix 3 are formatted to represent the patterns more completely than when first published. Co-published with the Bibliographical Society of America and The British Library.
