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).…

paper wrappers. tall 8vo. paper wrappers. 336 pages. Reprint of the first edition. A fine copy. The techniques and approaches fostered in the first half of this century by the "New Bibliography" have spread throughout the world, developing and expanding in association with bodies, such as the Bibliographical Societies of Britain and America. These essays, specially commissioned for this book, take "New Bibliography" into the 21st century. Surveying bibliographic and textual studies in some thirty fields, they discuss major issues and developments. Areas covered include manuscript studies and the analysis of handwriting; the physical characteristics of the book - its paper, type, and binding; enumerative and descriptive bibliography, incunabula, cartography, book illustration, book catalogues, and the Stationers' Company. This work also discusses bibliographical developments in the history of science and in many countries - the British Isles, France, Germany, Italy, North America, Japan and Asia, Australia and New Zealand. Developments in the theory and practice of editing texts (including biblical texts); the history of the book and the implications of the computer for bibliography are also focused on in this volume. These essays open possible research proposals by students and scholars, ensuring the vitality of bibliography in to the next century. These collections provide a landmark, taking stock of developments in a vast and vital area of study, and maps out its future parameters. From the Thomas M. Whitehead Collection of Books About Books.…

First Edition. At the close of a full career in marketing and social psychology, Drazin retired to Hertfordshire, England and took up croquet. At some point he realized that though quite a bit of literature existed about the game, many items are very scarce and ill-documented. So he set about to identify and describe in detail all known specialist books and pamphlets. He found 403 titles, 493 subsequent editions and variants, and 158 patents. Most are in English but a few in other European and Asian languages. For each he includes the formula, technical notes, contents, binding, copy seen, fingerprint, and notes. He indexes titles, authors and other contributors, and publishers and printers; a subject index would be redundant. Fine cloth copy in an equally fine dw.
