An Interview with Author Breixo Viejo Now Available on the Oak Knoll Blog

Featuring our new publishing and distribution titles, as well as a selection of older favorites.

Just what does A. Edward Newton have to do with Oak Knoll? Find out by reading our new Oak Knoll Biblio-Blog: Musings on Books from Bob Fleck and his Oak Knollers. With Oak Knoll being not just a haven for books, but also a shop filled with unique history and interesting tales, we decided to create our very own blog to share our thoughts on books and keep you informed of the interesting happenings occurring with the Oak Knoll staff.

Oak Knoll Press is now the exclusive North American distributor for HES & DE GRAAF Publishers. In doing so we have added over 350 titles to our publishing program. Founded in 1971, HES Publishers expanded in 2000 by the incorporation of the renowned DE GRAAF Publishers. They are publishers of scholarly works on books, on the history of books, on the history of their production and on any interesting topic related to manuscripts as well as the printed book.

ViaLibri.net is the only book meta-search engine that caters specifically to collectors searching for bibliographical information about rare or antiquarian books, offering the following unique features:

• Includes important antiquarian bookselling sites that other meta-searches exclude, such as anikvariat.net, booksatpbfa and uniliber
• Search results are sorted starting with the most valuable books, guaranteeing that the search will not exclude rare or valuable books
• Users can specify dates as part of their search criteria
• Can search for a specific phrase, an option not offered by other meta-search sites
• A “Search Manager” function allows users to save search criteria for a later time
• Features a built-in translation function for book descriptions in the search results
• Users can continue searching until they have looked at all the matches available

ViaLibri is also the only meta-search site with a library search. The viaLibri library search page currently searches more than 70 library databases worldwide, and more databases are continually being added. This library search includes the following:

• Multi-national catalogues, including WorldCat, COPAC and Google books
• National union catalogues
• Libraries, including research and special collections libraries, national libraries and university libraries

The resources provided by viaLibri will help you find information about the title you are looking for, both in a library and for sale online.
