New Castle, DE and Folkestone, England Oak Knoll Press and St. Paul's Bibliographies (1998) small 8vo. pictorial paper-covered boards. 170 pages.
In this volume of the Publishing Pathways Series, leading scholars from different specialties provide fascinating glimpses of the interaction between science, medicine and the culture of print. Booksellers, printers, collectors, readers and the mechanisms of production and distribution across several centuries form the basis of their studies. Michael Harris reveals the medical hazards that constantly threatened the health and safety of London printers in the 19th century. Peter Isaac reveals the close connections between bookselling and the marketing of proprietary and patent medicines. Vanessa Harding uses the evidence provided by Richard Smyth's "Obituary" to reconstruct a complex network of printers and customers in plague-ridden London. Sylvia De Renzi uses the career of Robert S. Whipple, a prominent manufacturer of scientific instruments, to show how an individual collector could contribute to the emergence of the history of science as a distinct discipline in the 20th century. Lotte Hellinga uses the evidence provided by incunabula to construct chronologies of the spread of ideas as well as to track the spread of particular diseases as they swept across 15th-century Europe. Roy Porter, in a wide-ranging argument, explores the relationship of print and readers, including dire warnings from the past about the effect of reading on mental health. Finally, John Symons recounts Sir Henry Wellcome's 40-year omnivorous collecting mania, which formed the basis of the Wellcome Institute's library and underlines his immense contribution to the development of the history of medicine as a field of interest.

New Castle, Delaware and Winchester Oak Knoll Press and St. Paul's Bibliographies 1996 8vo. paper over boards. 117 pages.
Reprint of the first edition. As the written output of European culture has continued to expand and diversify, the need to establish controls of the materials has also increased. The listing, description and analysis of texts, whether in manuscript or print, have engaged a long series of individuals in what can only be described as a heroic struggle. These individuals are the subject of the essays in this book, which reveal that all those researching the byways of book trade history, from the library cataloguers of medieval times to the dedicated scholar-librarians and historians of the recent past, can truly be said to have been "pioneers in bibliography."

Winchester St Paul's Bibliographies and Oak Knoll Press 1998 8vo. printed paper over boards. (xiii), 241 pages.
Reprint of the 1990 first edition. Part of the Publishing Pathways Series. How did printed material in Britain get from producer to reader? What were the mechanics of supply by which individuals from varied social backgrounds came into contact with print culture? These are hard questions lying at the heart of what is sometimes called the new bibliography. Distribution is a complex line of book trade history because it leads out of the self-contained and familiar area of the printing office and bookshop into the often baffling regions of redistribution and consumption, where the evidence is often fragmentary.
London, with its ever-increasing output in this period of books, pamphlets, newspapers, ballads and ephemera, was always the dominant influence on the market. In this volume, however, the contributors are almost all concerned with aspects of the local trade in different parts of the British Isles and, in one essay, the trade between London and America via Scotland. They provide a series of detailed investigations into the distribution networks which supplemented those based in the capital, and in doing so they give a fresh view of the developing relationship between print and society over three centuries.

See More... (Symons, Julian) Walsdorf, John J. JULIAN SYMONS, A BIBLIOGRAPHY.
Winchester and New Castle, Delaware St. Paul's Bibliographies and Oak Knoll Press 1996 8vo. cloth. 340 pages
First edition. Preface by H.R.F. Keating. The sixth volume of the Winchester Bibliographies of Twentieth Century Writers series. This is the first and only bibliography of Julian Symons to include a personal memoir and commentaries by Symons himself. According to Keating, a frequent motif of Symons's fiction is his use of the mask, whether as a disguise or a metaphor for the elegantly exposed hypocrisies of everyday life. As a literary critic, social historian, biographer, essayist, editor and poet, Symons was one of the most distinguished authors and expositors of the postwar British crime novel. His mystery writing career began with the publication of THE IMMATERIAL MURDER CASE (1945) and was later known for such works as THE COLOUR OF MURDER (1957), THE MAN WHO LOST HIS WIFE (1970) and DEATH'S DARKEST FACE (1990). He succeeded Dame Agatha Christie as President of the Detection Club (1976 to 1985) and was awarded the 1990 Cartier Diamond Dagger from the British Crime Writers Association for lifetime achievement in the world of crime fiction. A standard reference, JULIAN SYMONS, A BIBLIOGRAPHY will not only illuminate the richness of Symons's lesser-known early works, as well as chronicling his well-known masterworks, but its autobiographical personal memoir will also add insight to Symons's life beyond the page.

With the assistance of Douglas A. Anderson. New Castle, Delaware and Winchester Oak Knoll Press and St Paul's Bibliographies 2002 6 x 9 inches hardcover xi, (iii), 434 pages.
First edition, second printing. The second volume in the Winchester Bibliographies of Twentieth Century Writers series. This is the first descriptive bibliography of J.R.R. Tolkien, one of the most popular writers of the twentieth century. His children's book The Hobbit, his epic The Lord of the Rings, and his last triumph, The Silmarillion, have been read by millions and are at the core of modern fantasy fiction. A noted philologist, Tolkien also made significant contributions to Old and Middle English studies, including a landmark essay on Beowulf and standard editions of Ancrene Wisse and Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. This bibliography explores the full range of his imaginative and scholarly works, from juvenilia to the posthumous The History of Middle-Earth. Books written by Tolkien in whole or in part, his Contributions to Periodicals, Published Letters and Art Work, Interviews, Recordings, and translations of his writings are described. Special attention is paid to The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, whose many editions and complex textual changes are analyzed in detail. The publishing history of Tolkien's works is told at length, with notes drawn from publishers' archives and from Tolkien's correspondence.

There are eight pages of plates, a chronology and an index. This bibliography will become a standard reference book for scholars, librarians, booksellers and collectors whose already keen interest in Tolkien continues to grow.
