(Calligraphy) Knight, Stan HISTORICAL SCRIPTS FROM CLASSICAL TIMES TO THE RENAISSANCE.
New Castle, Delaware Oak Knoll Press and John Neal, Bookseller 1998 4to. hardcover, dust jacket 112 pages.
Reprint with minor corrections of second edition. The craft of calligraphy has a 2000-year history in the Western world. Up to the time of the Renaissance, calligraphy was the only means of preserving literature, and so, it played a vital role in the spread of learning, culture, and religion. Historical scripts were not rigidly-fixed "styles;" they represented the high peaks in an endlessly shifting landscape. Throughout centuries, styles of writing were continually being modified and developed in response to a multitude of influences encompassing political, religious, aesthetic, intellectual, sociological, and pragmatic changes in the ways that books were made and scripts were written. The modern calligrapher, typographer, historian, and anyone interested in western lettering and documents benefits from studying the methods, skills, and attitudes of generations of historical scribes who produced such outstanding and accomplished works for so many centuries.
Revised and expanded, this book is an excellent survey of bookhands with its full-page, enlarged illustrations and solidly researched sources. It is a useful text for studying the history of manuscripts as well as the details of letter construction. This work also helps one make judgments about the technical condition of letter writing and its qualities of rhythm and movement, possible only when consulting an original manuscript. The author has gone to considerable lengths to obtain photographs that are well-focused and lit so that the tactile qualities of surfaces, ink tone, and flow are revealed. The author has chosen examples of formal writing that show a coherent and reasonably consistent relationship between methods of tool use and letter formation, making the construction of a script much easier to grasp in practice. He has also made the effort of selecting writing without idiosyncrasies of style.

Camp, Orlando J. and Ed Kee THE MILFORD ELEVEN, INTEGRATION ROBBED HOPE FROM ELEVEN BLACK STUDENTS.
Wilmington Cedar Tree Books (2011) 8vo. stiff paper wrappers. xiv, 186 pages.
First edition. The journey for the Milford Eleven was through one of the ugliest periods in Delaware history and it changed their lives forever. This is a compelling story about how racism in a small town changed the lives of eleven black students. This is a story about racism and how racism eliminated possibilities and destroyed dreams. This is the story of those students thrust into integration, a town afraid of change, and the legacy of these two opposing groups. This small town could have made history; it could have been a leader in the integration of schools in Delaware and the nation. But it failed to try and failed eleven young adults. The promises of the Supreme Court under its ruling of Brown v Board of Education were never kept. On May 17, 1954, the Supreme Court of the United States outlawed segregation in public schools. This decision was momentous; it meant the end of a system that was unjust and degraded blacks. For these students it meant they had a chance to get an equal education in the public schools of Delaware, but it was not meant to be.

Mansfield Centre Martino Publishing 2006 square 8vo. cloth. 208 total pages.
Reprint of the first edition published in Montreal during 1932-1933. Four parts bound in one. The Récollets (Recollects) were a French branch of the Franciscans (Latin: Ordo Fratrum Minorum), first established in France about 1570. The French Récollets had 11 provinces with 2534 cloisters by the late 18th century. The order was suppressed during the French Revolution.
The Récollets were important as missionaries to the French colonies in Canada, although they were displaced there by the Jesuits. The first Récollet missionaries arrived at Quebec City, from Rouen on June 2, 1615. The Récollet fathers are said to have brewed the first beer in New France in 1620. They left New France in 1629 but returned in 1670. After the British conquest, the order was prohibited from recruiting new members. The last Canadian Récollet Brother Louis died in 1848 at Quebec City. Includes bibliographies of these famous French missionaries and/or explorers. Includes Viel, Nicolas, d. 1625; Pelletier, Didace, 1657-1699;

Carbonell, John THE EARLY PRINTINGS OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN'S GETTYSBURG ADDRESS AND WHAT THEY REVEAL ABOUT HIS SPOKEN WORDS.
New Castle, Delaware Oak Knoll Press 2008 8.5 x 11 inches Stiff paper covers, stapled 52 pages
The opening words of Lincoln's Gettysburg Address are familiar to many, but the exact wording of the rest of his speech has been contested over the years. Soon after Lincoln spoke at Gettysburg on November 19, 1863, variations of what he said were printed in a number of publications. Generations of commentators have since puzzled over these, wanting to know which one is the most accurate. This short book continues that quest, first by cataloguing and annotating a sequence of key printings published in the six months after he spoke and by investigating their sources, with reference to the five surviving manuscripts of the Address in Lincoln's hand as well as other documents. John Carbonell concludes that not only is a certain printing the most accurate, as many have thought, but more controversially, that there is no compelling reason to believe that a single word in it is mistaken.

John Carbonell is an antiquarian book and print dealer specializing in nineteenth-century American and Canadian printed ephemera. He was born in Malaysia, grew up in Australia, and graduated from universities in England and the United States before moving to Canada and becoming a Canadian citizen. He now lives in Virginia with his wife and two children.

Carpenter, Kenneth E. THE DISSEMINATION OF THE WEALTH OF NATIONS IN FRENCH AND IN FRANCE 1776-1843.
New York The Bibliographical Society of America 2002 8vo. cloth lxii, (i), 255+(1) pages
First edition. Adam Smith's great work of political economy reached French readers through reprints of English editions; a number of translations directed towards different audiences; and a host of summaries, extracts and reviews in magazines and journals. Combining cultural history and bibliographical analysis, Carpenter traces the transmission of this text and assesses the implications of its paratext - occurring in reviews and advertisements, and in the front matter, footnotes, format, and typography of more than thirty monographs and periodicals. He provides full bibliographical descriptions necessary for identifying these works and understanding their interpretative agenda, as well as extensive quotations showing how translators, commentators, editors, and publishers mediated Adam Smith's ideas. This publishing history also serves as an anthology of contemporary critical response to a text at first marginalized by the government and the book trade, then adopted by intellectuals seeking an ideological basis for the French Revolution, and ultimately established as a canonical work of economic thought requiring commentary and scholarly apparatus. An extensive introductory essay describes the textual transformation of the French editions and explains how French readers sought in them "a tool for creating a new society." With thirteen black-and-white illustrations and an index.

(Carroll, Lewis) Goodacre, Selwyn H. and Justin G. Schiller ALICE'S ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND, AN 1865 PRINTING RE-DESCRIBED AND NEWLY IDENTIFIED AS THE PUBLISHER'S FILE COPY WITH A REVISED AND EXPANDED CENSUS OF THE SUPPRESSED 1865 ALICE TO WHICH IS ADDED, A SHORT-TITLE INDEX IDENTIFYING AND LOCATING THE ORIGINAL PRELIMINARY DRAWINGS BY JOHN TENNIEL FOR ALICE AND LOOKING-GLASS.
New York Battledore Ltd. 1990 6 x 9 inches hardcover 111 pages
Collectors and those interested in children's books will find this work fascinating as it unearths information about the first actual printing of Alice in Wonderland. Encouraged by his friends, Reverend Charles Dodgson, otherwise known as Lewis Carroll, first had Alice published by Macmillan & Co. and printed by the Clarendon Press in June 1865, arranging to have a specially bound copy delivered to Alice Liddell, the famous Alice for whom the story was spun, the next month on July 4. However, not several weeks after that, John Tenniel, the illustrator, wrote to Dodgson complaining of his dissatisfaction with the printing of his illustrations. Macmillan examined one of the unbound copies of the book and agreed to fully reprint the book using a more commercial printer from London, Richard Clay. The condemned printing was then sold to David Appleton & Co., an overseas publishing house who wanted to distribute copies of the book in America. Only 1,952 copies were sold to them of the original 2,000 copy print run. The title-pages were redone with a New York imprint dated 1866, the sheets were machine-folded and put into cloth bindings with Appleton's name on the lower spine and the new title-page substituted on a stub for the earlier one. Meanwile, Macmillan completed its new edition in November 1865, but post-dated this printing 1866 in time for the holidays. As of this writing, twenty-two copies of the original 1865 Alice are located and known to have survived with their original title-pages plus one copy presented to Christ Church Library, currently lost, by the author. This work resolves the whereabouts of Macmillan's file copy and hopefully provides a framework for future research. An excellent book which contains a wealth of information about the publication of Alice in Wonderland. Well-illustrated throughout.

(Carroll, Lewis) Lovett, Charles C. LEWIS CARROLL AND THE PRESS
New Castle and London Oak Knoll Press and The British Library 1999 6 x 9.5 inches cloth, dust jacket. 135 pages.
This comprehensive new work not only provides bibliographical details lacking from previous studies, but it describes Dodgson's letters, articles, games, mathematical problems, and stories in such a way that the scholar without access to these rare items will gain an understanding of where Dodgson stood on various subjects and the nature of his relationship with the public via the press.
Previously unknown Dodgson items are brought to light in this listing, and numerous early reprints are recorded for the first time. Dodgson's word puzzles "Doublets" and "Syzgies," which were published on a continuing basis in Vanity Fair and The Lady are fully described for the first time, and dozens of previously unknown Doublets and Syzygies are reprinted. Lovett's introductory essay discusses Dodgson's career as both a reader of periodicals and a contributor to them, and quotes extensively from one of the "lost" periodical contributions - Dodgson material which has not been reprinted. Its wealth of new material and full and proper description of what has so often been neglected in the past make LEWIS CARROLL & THE PRESS an invaluable reference for librarians, scholars, students, professors, collectors, and booksellers.

(Carroll, Lewis) Sewell, Byron and Clare Imholtz AN ANNOTATED INTERNATIONAL BIBLIOGRAPHY OF LEWIS CARROLL'S SYLVIE AND BRUNO BOOKS.
New Castle and London Oak Knoll Press and the British Library 2008 8.5 x 11 inches hardcover, dust jacket 274 pages
First edition. Byron Sewell and Clare Imholtz have compiled a comprehensive international bibliography of over 1000 entries listing all known editions of Lewis Carroll's Sylvie & Bruno books, their translations into foreign languages, excerpts from them, the appearance of their poems in anthologies, critical articles and studies, parodies, and much more. This book establishes for the first time the full bibliographic record of these long-neglected works by Carroll, including several little-known bibliographic rarities. Because this is a truly comprehensive bibliography, with a great breadth of citations, it will almost certainly become an important reference work, not only for Carrollians, but also for other bibliographers and students of Victorian and later literature. This descriptive bibliography will introduce many of its readers to the important techniques of the novels, with their multiple and shifting levels of reality, and the delightful nonsense of the Mad Gardener's song and other poems in the books. The bibliography includes a 30-page scholarly essay by Anne Clark Amor, one of Britain's foremost Carroll scholars, as well as a complete list of the recipients of Lewis Carroll's presentations of the two books, the latter compiled by Carroll scholar and editor of the acclaimed new unexpurgated edition of his diaries, Edward Wakeling. In identifying the riches to be found in the bibliographic outlands of Carroll's Sylvie & Bruno books, Sewell and Imholtz have demonstrated that there has been far greater interest in them than has generally been recognized. The bibliography reveals the many literary and cultural figures who have commented on, disparaged, imitated, parodied, quoted or in some other way drawn upon the Sylvie books, including: T.S. Eliot, Harold Bloom, Jorge Luis Borges, G.K. Chesterton, James Joyce, Ogden Nash, Elizabeth Sewell and Evelyn Waugh, among others.

Both authors are well-known among Lewis Carroll collectors and scholars. In 1992, Byron Sewell published, in a very limited edition, Much of a Muchness: A Survey of the American Editions of the Alice Books Published from 1866-1960. He is one of the co-authors of a recent Lewis Carroll Comic Book Bibliography and has written numerous bibliographic articles. Clare Imholtz has written several articles on Carroll that have been published in Papers of the Bibliographical Society of America, The Carrollian, The Lewis Carroll Review and other journals. The extent and thoroughness of the bibliography is in no small part due to the wonderful cooperation the bibliographers received from Carroll collectors and scholars in Great Britain, Japan, Russia, Finland, France, the United States and elsewhere.

(Carter, John) Dickinson, Donald C. JOHN CARTER, THE TASTE & TECHNIQUE OF A BOOKMAN
New Castle Oak Knoll Press 2004 8vo. cloth, dust jacket. 422 pages.
First edition. Preface by Sebastian Carter. Throughout his professional career, John Carter, 1905-1975, was recognized as one of the most important figures in the Anglo-American book world. He was known as an imaginative book dealer, a creative bibliographer and a stylish and thoughtful writer. In 1934, after working for several years in the London book trade, he achieved instant fame, along with his co-author Graham Pollard, for An Enquiry into the Nature of Certain Nineteenth Century Pamphlets, a brilliant piece of detective work that exposed Thomas J. Wise.
Carter quickly built up a circle of friends, including Frederich Melcher, the editor of Publishers' Weekly and Elmer Adler, the editor of The Colophon. With those useful connections, he was able to publish over a dozen articles on bibliography and the rare book trade before he was thirty years old. Critics agreed that Carter's writing was characterized by precision, elegance and wit. Among his best known publications were Taste & Technique of Book Collecting and his popular glossary, ABC for Book Collectors. He was, above all, an articulate spokesman for the pleasures and challenges of book collecting. Contains a full checklist of John Carter's publications. Well-illustrated. This work will be appreciated by all bibliophiles who are interested in 20th century bibliophilia.

(Caxton Club) Piehl, Frank THE CAXTON CLUB 1895-1995, CELEBRATING A CENTURY OF THE BOOK IN CHICAGO.
Chicago The Caxton Club 1995 8vo. gray cloth over boards with white stamping and paper label with slipcase. 224 pages.
The Caxton Club was founded in Chicago in January 1895 by fifteen bibliophiles. Its objective was the "literary study and promotion of the arts pertaining to the production of books" and "the occasional publishing of books designed to illustrate, promote and encourage these arts." One century later, the Club remains dedicated to this objective. It brings together a community of individuals who share the love of books and provides them a forum to educate one another on their content and design; and about the joys of reading them. In addition, their activities and existence have contributed a significant chapter to the history of book collecting in America with its changing tastes and the evolution of fine printing and fine binding over 100 years in Chicago. Caxton Club historian, Frank J. Piehl, offers a taste of the artistic, intellectual and literary atmosphere of Chicago from which the Caxton Club merged. According to Piehl, early bibliophiles concerned themselves not only with a book's contents, but also with the physical aspects of a book. In its 100 years, the Club has published 60 books that are distinguished by their content and design. Nineteen are important historical works, sixteen describe the history of printing and bookbindings, seven relate to bibliophiles and book collecting, and the remaining eighteen comprise a miscellany of poetry, literary works, plays, an opera and other items. Anyone who is interested in the history of book collecting, printing and bookbinding will enjoy this work. Designed by Caxtonian Bruce Beck and printed by R.R. Donnelley & Sons, the Caxton Club publishes this history of the Club that includes an up-to-date bibliography of the Club's publications, as well as biographies of Caxtonians who have contributed prominently to the advancement of the book and the club. Limited to 1,000 numbered and signed copies of which 900 are offered for sale.
