Cooke, Simon ILLUSTRATED PERIODICALS OF THE 1860S: CONTEXTS & COLLABORATIONS.
New Castle, Delaware, Pinner and London, England Oak Knoll Press, The Private Libraries Association, The British Library 2010 7.25 x 10.75 inches Hardcover, dust jacket 224 pages
The 1860s are considered the "Golden Age" of illustrated periodicals, a time when the "knockabout" humor of the 1840s, which was dominated by illustrators such as Cruikshank, Doyle, and Phiz, gave way to a more considered style grounded in serious artistic principles, allowing for deeper expression and emotion in artistic output. The first book of its kind, Illustrated Periodicals of the 1860s, focuses extensively on the illustrated magazine as a distinct form.

Illustrated Periodicals provides a new and informative approach to the study of "sixties" periodicals, revealing the previously unstudied area of the complex interrelationships between the various parties involved in the production of these magazines: publishers, editors, artists, engravers, and authors. The book considers the effects of these relationships on creative output, both artistic and literary, and in so doing provides a detailed, historical reconstruction of the essential character of the periodicals of that era. The book includes over 120 reproductions of engravings and preparatory drawings, almost all of them original size.

Additionally, the text contains two appendices; the first includes a reflection of the work that goes into collecting and researching these periodicals. The second lists the key illustrators, engravers, publishers, editors, as well as magazines mentioned throughout the text, each including a brief description. This work is an informative and colorful choice for those interested in the history of periodicals, the production of magazines, and art.

Simon Cooke has written widely on the subject of Victorian art and literature. He received his doctorate from Exeter and his teaching qualifications from the Open University and the University of Leicester. Cooke is currently a teacher of English language and literature.

Goldman, Paul BEYOND DECORATION, THE ILLUSTRATIONS OF JOHN EVERETT MILLAIS.
New Castle, Delaware & London, England & Middlesex, England Oak Knoll Press & The British Library & Private Libraries Association 2005 7 x 12 inches Hardcover, dust jacket 337 pages
First edition. John Everett Millais is admired as one of the most celebrated of Pre-Raphaelite painters. Perhaps less known is the major contribution he made both to book and periodical illustration between 1852 and 1883. Many of these book illustrations remain little known today, largely due to the fact that they are scattered in hundreds of 19th century books and periodicals. This important new work brings together over 300 examples of Millais illustrations, enabling this part of his work to be viewed and appreciated by new generations. This work will be an important reference to any scholar interested in Victorian book illustration.
Paul Goldman was a curator in the Department of Prints and Drawings at the British Museum. He is the author of Victorian Illustrated Books 1850-1870 - The Heyday of Wood-Engraving (British Museum Press, 1994) and Victorian Illustration - The Pre-Raphaelites, The Idyllic School and The High Victorians (Scolar Press, 1996). Co-Published with the Private Libraries Association and The British Library. Sales rights North and South America.

(Hume, David) Norton, David Fate and Mary J. Norton. DAVID HUME LIBRARY.
Edinburgh, Scotland Edinburgh Bibliographical Society in association with The National Library of Scotland 1996 8vo. stiff paper wrappers. 162 pages.
First edition. David Hume, well-known as a philosopher and historian, was also an avid reader and collector of books. Unfortunately, no catalogue of his library survives. The Nortons have traced the path of Hume's books to his brother and sister, then to his nephew, David Hume the Younger (later Baron Hume), and, finally, to Thomas Stevenson, an Edinburgh bookseller.
Working from manuscript sources, including an 1840 catalogue of Baron Hume's library, as well as letters to Hume, the authors identify several hundred titles that belonged, or probably belonged, to Hume. Included among these are corrected copies of Hume's own works; a wide range of items presented to him by such friends or acquaintances as Buffon, Burke, D'Alembert, Diderot, Gibbon, D'Holbach, Price, Priestly, Rousseau, Adam Smith, and Horace Walpole; and many now obscure works that may have helped to form the views of one of Britain's most important writers.

Maack, Mary Niles (editor) THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS AND THE CENTER FOR THE BOOK: HISTORICAL ESSAYS IN HONOR OF JOHN Y. COLE.
Washington, DC Library of Congress in association with The University of Texas Press 2011 6.25 x 9.25 inches hardcover, dust jacket 224 pages
For more than 40 years, beginning in 1966 when he joined its staff as an administrative intern, John Y. Cole has sought to increase public and scholarly understanding of the key role that the Library of Congress plays in American government, scholarship, and librarianship. As both a professional librarian and a historian of the Library of Congress, he is well-qualified for the task.

In 1976, Librarian of Congress Daniel J. Boorstin chose Cole to be the chair of his year-long review of the Library's functions and activities. In 1977 he appointed Cole as the head of the new Center for the Book in the Library of Congress, a private-public partnership established by Congress to use the prestige and resources of the Library of Congress to promote books and reading. In 1987, James H. Billington, Boorstin's successor as Librarian of Congress, gave the Center for the Book new support and a challenge: stimulate the creation of a state-wide affiliate in every state.

Few individuals are recognized by essays published in their honor while they are still fully engaged in their chosen profession. John Y. Cole, Director of the Center for the Book in the Library of Congress, is one of those exceptions. The Library of Congress and the Center for the Book: Historical Essays Honoring John Y. Cole, has been published by the Library of Congress and the University of Texas Press at Austin. Edited by Mary Niles Maack of the University of California at Los Angeles, the volume features nine invitational essays marking Cole's dual achievements as a scholar who is "known internationally as the foremost expert on the history of the Library of Congress" and as the founding director, in 1977, of the Center for the Book.

The essays were originally published as a special issue (2010, vol. 45, no. 1) of the University of Texas quarterly journal Libraries & the Cultural Record: Exploring the History of Collections of Recorded Knowledge, also edited by Maack. This edition includes a new, illustrated essay by Cole ("A Life at the Library of Congress"), an updated bibliography of his writings 1970-2010 and a comprehensive index. The frontispiece is a poem, "Voyage," which was dedicated to John Cole in 2003 by U.S. Poet Laureate Billy Collins. The volume's four-color dust jacket features a photograph of the Library's Main Reading Room by noted photographer Carol M. Highsmith and reproductions of various Center for the Book posters and promotional items.

Mary Niles Maack is a Professor Emerita at UCLA, where she served for 25 years in the Department of Information Studies. From 2000 to 2005, she also worked closely with the California Center for the Book. Her research interests include gender issues, professionalization, and comparative librarianship. She has traveled widely in Africa and taught at the French national library school in Villurbanne.
