Laminated pictorial boards, 8vo, xi, 205 pp, facs, tables. From the blurb - "This fourth volume in the Print Networks series salutes the impact of the printing press, hailed by the Leicester Chronicle, as John Hinks reminds us, as 'the mighty engine' which assisted the passage of the Reform Act of 1832. Authorities have for centuries tried to control printed matter and its distributors, a theme explored by Richard Suggett and Maureen Bell. Printing has been important in preserving the Welsh language and culture. Appropriately for a Seminar held at Aberystwyth several papers dealt with aspects of this: Rheinallt Llwyd describes the genesis of Gorchestion Beirdd Cymru, outstanding both for its content and typography; Chris Baggs looks at a bookselling dynasty in Pembrokeshire; Philip Henry Jones illuminates the difficulties of Welsh-language publishing in the nineteenth century; and Audrey Cooper describes the Cambrian Traveller's Guide of George Nicholson, a notable provincial printer and publisher in the Welsh marches. To thrive the English provincial book trade made use of wide networks. Brenda Scragg reports on the cultivation of Edinburgh cultural society by the Manchester bookseller, William Ford; Iain Beavan uses the firm's archives to show how Oliver & Boyd developed advertising; David Shaw gives an insight into the regional and national links of the Canterbury book trade in the eighteenth century; and Jim English gives an account of the Mozley family of Gainsborough and Derby with its fictitious London imprints. Two provincial members of the book trade receive individual attention: Margaret Cooper uses the luckily saved records of John Mountfort to indicate something of the activities of a Worcester bookseller in the years immediately after the end of the Licensing Act; and Sarah Gray lets us see William Flackton, Canterbury bookseller and talented musician, at work. The earliest days of English printing are dealt with by Stacey Gee (the 1999 Seminar Fellow) in her account of the coming of print to York, and by David Stoker who tells us what contemporaries wrote of printing at the Red-Well press in Norwich. Diana Dixon writes of the vicissitudes of newspapers in Huntingdonshire; Barry McKay gives the first report on his research into the day-books of John Ware, printer and bookseller of Whitehaven; and John Turner highlights some pitfalls in using on-line catalogues for quantitative bibliography." Very Good.

Cloth, 8vo, 25 cm, xlviii, 376 pp, ills, facs. From the blurb - "Used by scholars world-wide. the Stationers' Company archive is the longest unbroken run of booktrade records in existence, A book about the archive was long overdue, a sequel as it were to Blagden's definitive history of the Company. Robin Myers' work was originally planned as a brief guide to the Chadwyck-Healey microfilm but over the years it has grown into a major study of the Company's records in its own right. It is the culmination of many years spent in sorting, arranging and listing the records which has also involved a great deal of research in other libraries and archives including the British Library, Guildhall, the Bodleian. Cambridge University, St Andrews University and elsewhere. The book consists of an introductory essay on the history of the archives and the use that scholars from 1749 to the present day have made of it. followed by a glossary of terms, the first complete listing of the 550 volumes in the muniment room (this has not been done before) and two registers of supplementary documents. The first register consists of some 15,000 miscellaneous documents compiled by Robin Myers and includes material which had long since been lost sight of. but were happened upon in the aftermath of a fire bomb raid in October 1940: the second register is of legal documents compiled by' Major A. C. S. Hall. This is an essential reference book for librarians, scholars and those interested in the history of the book trade." With a name index by Peter Isaac. A presentation copy from and inscribed by the publisher Robert Cross to the designer Iain Bain "Iain, with grateful thanks for all you did to make this a handsome volume, Robert" and with a TLS from Cross to Bain laid in.
