See More... Bennet, Thomas Letter from T. Bennet to unnamed recipient.
N.P. n.p. n.d. (12 by 7 1/2 inches)
A letter from T. Bennet to unnamed recipient. Discusses "the suspicion that has been raised that an imprinted book of the subject of Religion" was "purloined." Bennet calls this "the most unlikely thing in the world;" there is "nothing like it at present either at the Tower or at the Chapel of the Rolls." Bennet asks his addressee to offer his opinion. Postscript states that a "messenger shall call for this paper, with your answer tomorrow abt. one of ye clock."
Thomas Bennet (1664/5-1706) was a London bookseller, Half-Moon in St. Paul's Churchyard. See Henry R. Plomer, A Dictionary of the Printers and Booksellers who were at Work in England, Scotland and Ireland from 1668 to 1725, 29, and Norma Hodgson and Cyprian Blagden, The Notebook of Thomas Bennet and Henry Clemens (1686-1719), 3-6.

See More... Benton, Megan L. BEAUTY AND THE BOOK, FINE EDITIONS AND CULTURAL DISTINCTION IN AMERICA.
New Haven, CT Yale University Press (2000) 8vo. cloth, dust jacket xii, 323+(1) pages
First edition. In post-World War I America, a world teeming with magazines, newspapers, radio broadcasts, and movies, many feared that the survival of traditional, serious books was in peril. This concern led to a publishing boom in fine editions--books valued primarily for their beauty, craftsmanship, extravagance, or scarcity. Beauty and the Book is a lively cultural history of the explosion in demand for these deluxe books during the 1920s and 1930s. The author combines new archival research with a close examination of 300 fine editions of the period, showing the interplay between the ideal and real nature of fine publishing, as well as the complex nature of American cultural ambitions during this pivotal era. Illustrated. Ownership stamp on free endpaper.
