Bartram, Alan TYPEFORMS: A HISTORY.
New Castle, Delaware and London Oak Knoll Press and The British Library 2007 9.5 x 10 inches cloth, dust jacket 128 pages
First edition. This book is the long-awaited successor to the classic An Atlas of Typeforms, the great visually-led history of type that Alan Bartram and James Sutton produced in 1968. Much has changed in the last 40 years, not least the teaching of typography and the means by which it is created. Because current design methods do not require the drawing and tracing of letterforms in order to produce layouts, we have lost our close connection with them. Few understand their history, their appearance, and how and why they have developed as they have. Nearly 75 different types are shown in their original metal forms, just as they were in the Atlas of Typeforms. But an entirely new feature is the author's attempt to place the types in their historical context. By including photographs of contemporary inscriptions on buildings and monuments, Alan Bartram explores the relationship between printed and architectural letterforms and their parallel course from the Renaissance until Victorian times. The opportunities offered for graphic and type designers in the digital age are greater than ever before. But without an understanding of the visual make-up of letterforms and some knowledge of their fascinating history, designers cannot fully exploit the potential of type. In this book, Alan Bartram educates us in these critical areas. Co-published with The British Library.

(Bookbinding) Foot, Mirjam M. THE HENRY DAVIS GIFT: A COLLECTION OF BOOKBINDINGS (VOL. III).
Volume III: A Catalogue of South-European Bindings New Castle, Delaware and London Oak Knoll Press and The British Library 2010 8.5 x 10.75 inches cloth with leather spine label. 528 pages
This much anticipated third and final volume of The Henry Davis Gift focuses on South and East European fine bindings, with additional sections on Oriental and American bindings. It includes many new identifications, and owners and binders are discussed comprehensively. Not only have the decorative features of every binding been described and illustrated, details of structure have also been described, and consequently, it is now possible to compare and contrast bookbinders' practices in the various countries, as evident from this splendid collection of fine bindings.

Although this volume focuses on Southern Europe, it also includes bindings from the Middle East, Mexico, and the United States. Two bindings overlooked in Volume II are also included. Similar to Volume II, this volume has been arranged according to country, and then further organized chronologically. In the introduction, Foot explains how her views and methods have changed, and as a result, she has altered specific descriptions and structural elements. The text also contains two indices: of binders and of owners. This is an invaluable book for all academic libraries, for antiquarian booksellers, for collectors and for all interested in the history of the book.

Mirjam Foot is Professor Emeritus of Library and Archive Studies at University College, London; she was formerly Director of Collections and Preservation at the British Library. Her publications include: The Henry Davis Gift Volumes I & II (1978 & 1983), Eloquent Witness: Bookbindings and their History (Oak Knoll Press, The Bibliographical Society and The British Library 2004), and Bookbinders at Work, their Roles and Methods (Oak Knoll Press and The British Library 2006).

Available outside North and South America from The British Library.
