London: Royal Asiatic Society / Philip Wilson, 2010. cloth, dust jacket. Illuminated Manuscripts. 4to. cloth, dust jacket. 214 pages. First edition, first printing. A fine copy. The Shahnamah of Firdausi produced for the Timurid Muhammad Juki (a grandson of Timur) in the 1440s is one of the finest surviving Persian manuscripts produced between the heyday of Baysunghur's academy in Herat and the appearance of Bihzad.

"In his grouchy, funny memoir, 'A Factotum in the Book Trade,' Marius Kociejowski writes about what a good bookstore should feel like, famous customers hes served and more....'A Factotum in the Book Trade' is memorable because a) its well-written, and b) its close in touch with the books." - Dwight Garner, The New York Times Praise for Marius Kociejowski "Kociejowski draws on all aspects of his life in these engaging, idiosyncratic personal essays . . . [that] proffer the reader equal measures of autobiography, insight and quirky charm." - Michael Dirda, Washington Post "[Kociejowski is] one of the most evocative travel writers to emerge in the last decade . . . He may well be peerless." - Maclean's "Here the charm is deep, the splendour unlaboured; the colours of history, reckoned afresh, saturate…

Following Marshall McLuhan's famous quote the medium is the message this article presents the Klingspor Museum in Offenbach/Main as a unique institution representing the genre of the artists book. The Klingspor Museum is more than simply a collection of book related arts because of its foundational idea of type- and bookmaking that put tremendous emphasis on merging these two domains. The leading personality of that history is Karl Klingspor.

Description:
New York: The Bibliographical Society of America, 1990. cloth. 8vo. cloth. 254 pages. The history of the book trade in Medieval London before the age of print has long remained a matter of speculation. Few records survive that name the book artisans and entrepreneurs involved with this early trade venture or that document directly their methods of producing books and creating markets for them. In this directory, C. Paul Christianson assembles an extensive body of alternative data drawn from archival documents that identifies 262 participants in the London trade during a period of 200 years. This group includes stationers, manuscript artisans (called limners), textwriters, bookbinders, parchment sellers, and other London citizens active in book production and sale. This book provides a summary of information about the independent book craftsman working in London during this period. Four appendices contain indexes, and two maps, one modern and one from the sixteenth century, illustrate the historical…
