Meriton, John (editor) with the assistance of Carlo Dumontet SMALL BOOKS FOR THE COMMON MAN: A DESCRIPTIVE BIBLIOGRAPHY.
New Castle, Delaware, and London Oak Knoll Press and The British Library 2010 7 x 10 inches hardcover 1,008 pages
First edition. The hundred years prior to the mid-nineteenth century saw a flowering of ephemeral publishing often referred to by the shorthand "chapbooks." This book is an analytical bibliography of the National Art Library's collection of literary ephemera of the period. For the purposes of this book, this includes entertaining and broadly educational works, such as abridged novels, alphabets, ballads, cries, dreadful, fables and tales, nursery rhymes, fortune books, garlands, histories, and natural histories. The book excludes primarily proselytizing and moralizing texts, along with battledores, cabinet and miniature books, harlequinaids, tracts, panoramas, plays, primers, and propaganda pamphlets. Also excluded are more substantial and sumptuous publications with engravings on quality paper and bound in boards as they were considered insufficiently ephemeral.

Nearly 800 titles are described here in significant bibliographical detail to allow accurate comparison and verification with editions, variants, and states in other collections. Examples of illustrations from all the books described are reproduced here, providing a visual feast and resource. The book will appeal to all librarians and owners of collections containing literary and educational ephemera. It will provide support for current research into literary studies and work on literacy and language development.

John Meriton is Librarian of the National Art Library and Deputy Keeper of the Word and Image Department, Victoria and Albert Museum, London. Carlo Dumontet is the National Art Library's Special Collections Bibliographer. Co-published with The British Library.

(Merrymount Press) Hutner, Martin THE MERRYMOUNT PRESS: AN EXHIBITION ON THE OCCASION OF THE 100TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE FOUNDING OF THE PRESS.
New York The Grolier Club 1993 9 x 12 inches paperback 78 pages
In 1893, Daniel Updike founded the Merrymount Press and became a member of the Grolier Club. He printed many of the Club's most attractive publications, and in 1926, he was awarded honorary membership. In 1911, Philip Hofer, founder of the Department of Printing and Graphic Arts at Harvard, invited Updike to deliver a series of speeches on the techniques of printing to the Graduate School of Business Administration. These lectures formed the basis for his monumental work on typography, Printing Types, published by Harvard University Press and later by Oak Knoll Press. In 1993, an exhibition was held at the Houghton Library and the Grolier Club showcasing 130 works spanning Updike's career and the life of the Press from 1891 to 1949.

This new publication represents Updike's enduring accomplishments and celebrates the 100th anniversary of the founding of his press. With 136 works, the catalogue displays the beauty, breadth, and standard set by the Press and its work. It is beautifully illustrated with over forty illustrations and contains a chronology, a list of types used at the Merrymount Press, and a list of commercial publishing houses associated with the Press. The book was designed by Jerry Kelly and printed by the Stinehour Press.

With a Preface by G. Thomas Tanselle New York The Grolier Club 1997 6 x 9 inches paperback 182 pages
The Grolier Club exhibition "Sir Thomas Phillipps: Portrait of a Collector" was curated by Harrson D. Horblit in December 1972. Horblit had a tremendous collection of books and manuscripts relating to Sir Thomas Phillips, founder of the Middle Hill Press. Though no catalogue was ever produced to accompany the exhibition, the Phillipps archive is now a part of the Grolier Club Library, and this catalogue contains the Middle Hill Press portion of the collection. The "Phillipps Room" on the fifth floor of the Grolier Club is a memorial to both Sir Thomas Phillipps and Harrison Horblit.

The Middle Hill Press material is the largest section of the collection and illustrates the history of the press, while drawing together several strands of book history. This checklist includes a frontispiece portrait of Sir Thomas Phillipps and nine illustrations. It was designed by Jerry Kelly and printed by the Stinehour Press.
