MYERS ROBIN & HARRIS MICHAEL EDITORS
The Stationers' Company And The Book Trade 1550-1990
St. Paul's Bibliographies Winchester / Oak Knoll Press New Castle / The British Library London: 1997. Paper-covered boards. Brand new book. For more than 400 years the Stationer's Company has been a focus for the conduct of the print and book trade. Booksellers stationers printers binders other producers and dealers united with a common purpose to protect their trade interests and to exert control in such matters as apprenticeship and the number of master printers. Profitable activities over a long period such as the English Stock and the regulation of the printing almanacs are examples of this role the Company played. The Company also effectively restricted the production and sale of the printed materials which were registered in its Entry Books at Stationers' Hall. In this the Company has appeared to be closely aligned with the interest of the State in regulating and controlling a powerful medium for dissent and subversion. In recent years as the Company's archives have been opened up to researchers and as new evidence has come to light from other sources the relationship of the Stationers' Company to the book trade as a whole has been shown to be more complex than had been previously imagined. Some scholars now emphasize the limitations of the power exercised by the Company over print publication while others have shown that it was very closely linked to political and religious networks especially in the Tudor and Stuart periods. Equally while fundamentally metropolitan in interest and in character it is now clear that the Company played an important role in the regions. Welsh printers for example sought to protect their publications by entering them in the Company's registers. By contrast in 18th-century Scotland a network of booksellers attempted to break free of London regulation as it developed a clandestine trade with Ireland the great source of pirated editions. These are some of the themes in this volume in which the Stationers' Company in all its aspects is shown to be central to any study of book trade history in Britain. Contributors include Ann Saunders Peter Blayney D. F. McKenzie Jean Tsushima Ian Gadd Robin Myers Warren McDougall and Philip Henry Jones.

BOOKS ON THE MOVE: TRACKING COPIES THROUGH COLLECTIONS AND THE BOOK TRADE
New Castle Delaware and London UK: Oak Knoll Press and The British Library 2007. cloth dust jacket. 6 x 9 inches. cloth dust jacket. 180 pages. First edition. Movements of books both as individual volumes and as collections have sometimes covered long distances across many centuries. Subject to the vagaries of war shipwreck and personal ruin as well as the intervention of the book trade and of collectors the travels of books often have an intricately detailed and compelling story to tell. One of the most active areas of current research in book history is concerned with interpreting the clues from individual copies and piecing together the documentary evidence to provide this narrative. In this volume of the Publishing Pathways series leading specialists in book history consider examples from the sixteenth to the twentieth century to chart some of the paths followed by books through the European network of print. This may focus on the large collections accumulated by Renaissance scholars but may equally involve tracking multiple copies of the same work through the marks of ownership left by unknown readers. Books on the Move represents an important contribution to an understanding of the shifting interactions over time between libraries collectors and the book trade.

MUSIC AND THE BOOK TRADE FROM THE SIXTEENTH TO THE TWENTIETH CENTURY
New Castle Delaware and London England: Oak Knoll Press and The British Library 2008. hardcover with dust jacket. 6 x 9 inches. hardcover with dust jacket. 240 pages. The history of music printing and publishing has generally formed a self-contained area of research within the study of book history. Bibliographers and book historians have tended to overlook the trade in printed music partly because the means of production reproducing notation rather than letter forms and of distribution often through the specialist sellers of musical instruments and equipment were themselves distinct. On the other hand musicologists have until recently paid less attention to the commercial aspects of printed music concentrating more on the technicalities of composition and performance. <br /> <br /> The original contributions contained in this newest addition to the Publishing Pathways series map some of the common ground between music and other forms of print exploring the ways in which the organization of production and the process of publication of printed music have developed over time. From the production and sale of missals in Renaissance Spain to the complexities of Gustav Mahlers copyrights in late nineteenth-century Vienna these essays raise issues and demonstrate methods of approach that will be of wider relevance to many areas of book history. How composers and publishers worked out their respective financial interests is just one of the recurring themes which will strike a chord with those who study the business of print.

MEDICINE MORTALITY AND THE BOOK TRADE
New Castle DE and Folkestone England: Oak Knoll Press and St. Paul's Bibliographies 1998. pictorial paper-covered boards. small 8vo. pictorial paper-covered boards. 170 pages. In this most recent volume of the Publishing Pathways Series leading 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 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.
