"[The book] attempts to show us, by word and by picture, how and where children's literature originated and which kinds of stories were chosen for children -- and by children -- over the centuries. We follow the tales which became popular, see how they were often initially illustrated by crude woodcuts, and how they might later be transformed by the drawings, watercolors, or engravings of great artists. This is not a history of children's literature; it is a selection of masterpieces or milestones from the past two thousand years of books and pictures which either were intended for children or which before long became their special property." (from the Preface by Charles Ryskamp). 225 books described in the catalogue, supplemented by the essay "The first flourishing of children's books" by J. H. Plumb.

Boston: David R. Godine Publisher, 1990 8vo (21 cm), 218, [4] pp, 21 plates. Publisher's cloth and dust jacket (dj slightly rubbed at extremities and somewhat stained). Edited by and with an Introduction by Nicholas Barker, this edition was printed exclusively for the members of "Hoc Volo." Before his passing in 1967, the eminent English typographic historian Stanley Morison had laid the groundwork for a significant endeavor: a comprehensive exploration of the history and evolution of early Italian writing books. Representing Morison's final major contribution, this work holds fundamental importance, delving into the most crucial period and showcasing the most exquisite examples in the annals of calligraphy. From Arrighi to Ugo da Carpi, Taglienti to Celebrino da Udine, the book meticulously examines sixteenth-century calligraphy.

Farrand Press & Private Libraries Association, 1990 4to (26 cm), 374 pp. Publisher's cloth, gilt-lettered spine and the front cover (spine sunned, edges slightly foxed). "This book is about books produced by lithography in Europe in the age of the hand press. The period it covers corresponds roughly with the first half of the nineteenth century, but since the hand press continued to be used for lithography long after this, even on a commercial basis, I have allowed myself some chronological licence. To my knowledge very little of any consequence has been published about such books by those who wrote on lithographic subjects at the time, and nothing at all since then. This book's main aim, therefore, is to introduce a little-known area of book design and production; but I hope that it will also contribute to our understanding of the overall picture of printing and publishing history." (from the Introduction.) The catalogue includes over 400 items.

The main portion is in the library of the Monastery of St. Catherine at the foot of Mount Sinai, and a fragment is in the Leningrad Public Library. Any manuscript of this age is valuable for the information it provides about the language and culture of early Rus', but the significance of this combined codex is enhanced by the fact that it is the oldest representative of a special revision of the Psalter text which became standard in Rus' but not elsewhere in the world of the Orthodox Slavs. The volume also includes photoreproductions of portions of a mid-twelfth century Psalter from Rus' which is the second-oldest witness to this text.

From the blurb: "In this book Sir George Clark tells the story of European civilization, western and eastern, in the period which followed the middle Ages. Beginning about the time the Turks captured Constantinople, before America was discovered, it ends in the early eighteenth century, when Peter the Great was founding St. Petersburg and Sir Isaac Newton was a very old man, but before anyone foresaw the French Revolution. Touching many aspects of civilization -- economic, social, political, religious and intellectual -- it present the history of the period as a record of endeavor and achievement. The boom was originally published as part of three-volume The European Inheritance"

Private Libraries Association, 1976 8vo (25 cm), xxii, 186 pp. Publisher's cloth. "This study of early dated book labels arises out of an awareness that they have been curiously neglected by those chronicling the history of ex libris in this country. It became clear that without a serious study of book labels a major chapter in the history of ex libris would remain unwritten. It is intended to open that chapter with this book, the major part of which is a catalogue of dated typographic labels to the year 1760." (from the introduction)
