George Bayntun established his first bindery in Northumberland Place in Bath in 1894 (120 years ago). In 1939 (75 years ago) we moved into our present premises in Manvers Street and incorporated the bindery of Robert Rivière & Son, which had started in Bath in 1829 (185 years ago). 50 years ago a young Penny Cox came to work in the front shop, and was followed in the same year by Julie Grayshan. They are still with us, as is Derek Harris who began in the bindery in 1947 and was trained by Ernest Stone, who started with George Bayntun in 1894.

  • POPULAR FICTION and PUBLISHING 1960S-1990S
    POPULAR FICTION AND PUBLISHING 1960s-1990s by MOIRA C. ROBINSON A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham for the degree of M. LITT. Department of English The University of Birmingham September 2001 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. ABSTRACT The popular fiction publishing trade is thriving at the end of the twentieth century and so is its ability to create bestsellers, but the average author remains poor. In seven chapters this thesis will outline the processes and agencies that have driven the trade forward and established the conditions for the creation of bestsellers. Chapter 1 provides an overview of the changes in the book trade between 1960 and 2000. Chapter 2 looks at the rise of literary agents, the huge increase in their numbers, and how they have transformed the modem publishing world. Chapter 3 is a survey of the literary prize and awards scene. The follovdng four chapters look in detail at four very different bestsellers: the unexpurgated Lady Chatterley's Lover by D H Lawrence (1960), The Thorn Birds by Colleen McCullough (1977), The Satanic Verses by Salman Rushdie (1988), and The Horse Whisperer by Nicholas Evans (1995), to assess how they have contributed to the revisions in the publishing trade.

  • Literature 2019
    LITERATURE This year, Sotheran’s would like to present our first dedicated Literature catalogue in over 5 years. This catalogue spans more than 350 years of published Literature and represents authors from all walks of life; from Sagan to the Beatniks, Victorian sensation fiction to Tagore and the ancient wisdom of Confucius huddled up next to Angela Carter's grim tales. In a time of new development for the company, with an exciting new website and shop renovation, our core values remain the same - to source and offer the rare, unusual and unique. Each and every one of the books in this catalogue has a story behind it, and we're confident that there's something here for everyone. We will shortly be releasing a short guide to our catalogues. ‘A Conversation about Book Collecting’ will aim to answer some of your most frequently asked questions, and will also include a guide to some of the terms that we use in our catalogues, so you can tell your 8vos from your ffeps, and your a.e.gs from your ALS’s. They will shortly be available upon request, and will be free to all Sotheran’s customers. Highlights in this catalogue include the First Edition of Lady Chatterley's Lover, signed by D. H. Lawrence; a copy of The Waste Land printed on Virginia Woolf's kitchen table, and a miniature smaller than a penny (with magnifying glass included!) We hope you enjoy perusing its pages.
