cloth. 8vo. cloth. 340 pages. First edition. Preface by H.R.F. Keating. The sixth volume of the Winchester Bibliographies of Twentieth Century Writers series. This is the first and only bibliography of Julian Symons to include a personal memoir and commentaries by Symons himself. According to Keating, a frequent motif of Symons's fiction is his use of the mask, whether as a disguise or a metaphor for the elegantly exposed hypocrisies of everyday life. As a literary critic, social historian, biographer, essayist, editor and poet, Symons was one of the most distinguished authors and expositors of the postwar British crime novel. His mystery writing career began with the publication of THE IMMATERIAL MURDER CASE (1945) and was later known for such works as THE COLOUR OF MURDER (1957), THE MAN WHO LOST HIS WIFE (1970) and DEATH'S DARKEST FACE (1990). He succeeded Dame Agatha Christie as President of the Detection Club (1976 to 1985) and was awarded the 1990 Cartier Diamond Dagger from the British Crime Writers Association for lifetime achievement in the world of crime fiction. A standard reference, JULIAN SYMONS, A BIBLIOGRAPHY will not only illuminate the richness of Symons's lesser-known early works, as well as chronicling his well-known masterworks, but its autobiographical personal memoir will also add insight to Symons's life beyond the page. Symons, Julian (illustratore).…

With his Kelmscott Press and associations with the Arts & Crafts Movement, William Morris helped raise the public's awareness of fine books to new heights. Morris inspired and influenced a generation of other designers and those working in American typography and book design, including Updike, Rogers, Goudy, Bradley, Cleland, Dwiggins, Ransom, Nash and Collins. This landmark study documents the true extent of Morris's influence on American bookmaking. Now republished by Oak Knoll Press and The British Library, this edition comes with a new Foreword by Jean-François Vilain and contains 111 illustrations of bindings, title pages, type and decorations reproduced from the originals, as well as an extensive bibliography. This book is a vital contribution to the history of American design, intellectualism and culture, appealing not only to those interested in the history of book design, art, graphic art and typography, but also to librarians, book collectors and those studying the literature of the period. Morris, William (illustratore).…

This work is based on the authors' experience and holdings for over a half century and offers a fresh and unique insight in collecting. NEW WORLDS reflects their fascination and reveals the astonishing fact that many early volumes foreshadowed the technology, medicine, sciences, political philosophy, and social practices of today. From blood transfusion to world federation, feminist militancy to the free press, these very contemporary issues can all be found in the volumes of earlier centuries. In NEW WORLDS IN OLD BOOKS we discover old titles that have eye-witness accounts of great events, problems of minorities, Satanic demonology, the lure of first editions, and unusual ownerships. NEW WORLDS is an interesting read for any book lover. The new worlds it unveils will inspire readers to be avid explorers of the wealth of knowledge to be found in the world of antiquarian books.".

Papers from the annual conference on book-trade history held at the Society of Antiquaries of London headquarters, organized through the University of London. Contains an introduction and seven essays, as follows: 1) PRINTERS' DISEASES: THE HUMAN COST OF A MECHANICAL PROCESS by Michael Harris; PILLS AND PRINT by Peter Isaac; MORTALITY AND THE MENTAL MAP OF LONDON: RICHARD SMYTH'S OBITUARY by Vanessa Harding; MEDICAL INCUNABULA by Lotte Hellinga; BETWEEN THE MARKET AND THE ACADEMY: ROBERT S. WHIPPLE (1871-1953) AS A COLLECTOR OF SCIENCE BOOKS by Silvia De Renzi; 'THESE CRAFTY DEALERS' SIR HENRY WELLCOME AS A BOOK COLLECTOR by John Symons; and READING: A HEALTH WARNING by Roy Porter. Illustrations. Bibliographical references. Index. A volume from the Publishing Pathways series. From the rear cover: "The links between the book trade and the theory and practice of medicine have often been acknowledged but have seldom before been the subject of detailed investigation. Âleading scholars from different specialties provide fascinating glimpses of the interaction between science, medicine and the culture of print. Booksellers, printers, collectors, readers and the mechanisms of production and distribution across several centuries form the basis of their studies. Michael Harris reveals the medical hazards that constantly threatened the health and safety of London printers in the 19th century. Peter Isaac reveals the close connections between bookselling and the marketing of proprietary and patent medicines. Vanessa Harding uses the evidence provided by Richard Smyth's OBITUARY to reconstruct a complex network of printers and customers in plague-ridden London. Sylvia De Renzi uses the career of Robert S. Whipple, a prominent manufacturer of scientific instruments, to show how an individual collector could contribute to the emergence of the history of science as a distinct discipline in the 20th century. Lotte Hellinga uses the evidence provided by incunabula to construct chronologies of the spread of ideas as well as to track the spread of particular diseases as they swept across 15th-century Europe. Roy Porter, in a characteristically wide-ranging argument, explores the relationship of print and readers, including dire warnings from the past about the effect of reading on mental health. Finally, John Symons recounts Sir Henry Wellcome's 40-year omnivorous collecting mania, which formed the basis of the Wellcome Institute's library and underlines his immense contribution to the development of the history of medicine as a field of interest."

From the dust jacket: "During a long career in publishing Frank Herrmann had the good fortune to work for firms who published T S Eliot, Evelyn Waugh, Ernest Shepard (the illustrator of A A Milne's books), Beatrix Potter and Mrs Beeton, and a host of other famous figures in the writing world. He took to writing himself and, after publishing a long history of art collecting in England, was asked to compile the history of Sotheby's, the auction house. Subsequently he became first, an adviser and, later, director of that firm's overseas operations. A love of the saleroom led him to start an auction house of his own which specialised only in books and literary material. His Bloomsbury Book Auctions has become a major player in the London auction world and continues to thrive. In his triple role as author, publisher and auctioneer, Frank Herrmann had unrivalled opportunities to observe the workings of the literary world and the book trade at close quarters and in these memoirs he gives a remarkably intimate picture of the editorial process at work and stresses the continuing importance of authorship. His narrative is interspersed with delightful interludes about his many other interests and activities. These include life with the Giant Alexander, the children's book character he created; researching in archives and later selling them; being the owner of a monumental castle in Franconia, and having to resolve the problems brought about by a large herd of wild boar in East Germany.".
