VII, i.e. up to the time of its takeover by the (now defunct) Columbia Univ. Library School with vol. VII, no. 2/3. Phaedrus began as a bibliographic newsletter (Vol. I is 1973/4) with a few short reviews and 2 issues per year. The format evolved constantly, so that by the time of vol. VI (1979), there are theme issues, primarily bibliographic issues, more extensive reviews, and 3 issues/yr. Some theme issue topics are: Children's literature in Scandinavia, in New England, managing collections of children's books, children's periodicals, etc. Vol. V no. 2 (Fall, 1978) contains an article by the collector and children's book antiquarian Walter Schatzki, signed by Mr. Schatzki on the first page of the article. Some issues illustrated. Points of interest are the bibliographic coverage of dissertations and bibliographic works (often reviewed), and the persistent international perspective.

(Pyle, Howard) Davis, Paul Preston HOWARD PYLE: HIS LIFE -- HIS WORK
2 volumes. New Castle and Wilmington Oak Knoll Press and The Delaware Art Museum 2004 9 x 12 inches. hardcover, dust jacket. 906 pages.
At the dawn of the 20th century, Howard Pyle was America's most famous and influential illustrator. Through the illustrated pages of Harper's, Scribner's and Century magazines, the American public first became acquainted with the illustrator that they would come to love. Both by example and through his teaching, Pyle molded and influenced generations of young artists who have continued his unique vision of illustration far beyond his own lifetime. Published 93 years after the death of Howard Pyle, this book celebrates the enduring and far-reaching achievements of America's foremost illustrator. Illustrated with over 3300 images, this important research tool represents the complete record of all known Howard Pyle illustrations, hundreds of which have not been reproduced since their original publication over 100 years ago.
Paul Preston Davis, with exhaustive research and dogged perseverance, has produced a much-needed resource for the study of Howard Pyle and American illustration. His work greatly expands upon the data originally collected by Willard S. Morse and Gertrude Brincklé in 1921. For the first time, full-color images (approx. 1.25 x 2.25 inches) of each of Pyle's published and unpublished works are provided in a single source. Most importantly for the researcher, Davis has indexed and re-indexed the information, creating a tool that is as easy to use as it is valuable. This remarkable and comprehensive set of books embodies years of research and will be valued and treasured by researchers, scholars, librarians, and collectors alike. Co-published with The Delaware Art Museum.
