“Next to talking about books comes the pleasure of them, especially books about books. This is an extra category I would recommend to collectors. Regardless of your other interests, no one should be without a hundred or more miscellaneous books about books: biographies of great collectors and booksellers, printers, papermakers, typefounders, publishers, etc. are essential tools, as are catalogues. Actually, good rare book catalogues are often the best possible bedtime reading, and one always learns something from them. But getting back to books about books: I would be hard put to prepare a list of the hundred best - there are so many excellent works in this field.” William Targ in his Foreword to A Miscellany for Bibliophiles.

“A comprehensive of catalogues is the greatest of all bibliographies.” Clarence S. Brigham, “History of Book Auctions in America” as the introduction to George L. McKay's American Book Auction Catalogues 1713 – 1934, A Union List.

Toronto: University of Toronto Press, 2018, , cloth in dust jacket. 544 pp. First Edition. What became of Erasmus books? The most famous scholar of his day died in peaceful prosperity and in the company of celebrated and responsible friends. His zeal for useful books was insatiable. Indeed, he had taken care to insure that after his death they would pass to an appreciative noble owner, yet after his death their fate was unknown. Erasmus and His Books provides the most comprehensive evidence available about the books of Erasmus of Rotterdam the books he owned and his attitude towards them, when and how he acquired them, how he housed, used, and cared for them, and how, from time to time, he disposed of them. Part 1 details the formation, growth, scope, and arrangement of Erasmus and opens the door to a new understanding of the more intimate side of his daily life as a scholar at home with his books, friends, publishers, and booksellers. Part 2 presents a carefully annotated catalogue, the Versandliste, of the more than 400 books in Erasmus possession at one point. Drawing upon his command of bibliographical data and his extensive knowledge of Erasmus correspondence and related records Egbertus van Gulik proposes as precise an identification of each of the titles as the evidence will allow. Van Guliks insightful discoveries tell us what can be known of books in Erasmus working library and how he used them and will be of interest to students of the northern Renaissance, the history of the book, and the history of learning.

(xx), 697 pp. First Edition. Between 1790 and 1840 printing and publishing expanded, and literate publics provided a ready market for , almanacs, newspapers, tracts, and periodicals. Government, business, and reform drove the dissemination of print. Through laws and subsidies, state and federal authorities promoted an informed citizenry. Entrepreneurs responded to rising demand by investing in new technologies and altering the conduct of publishing. Voluntary societies launched , lyceums, and schools, and relied on print to spread religion, redeem morals, and advance benevolent goals. Out of all this ferment emerged new and diverse communities of citizens linked together in a decentralized print culture where citizenship meant literacy and print meant power. Yet in a diverse and far-flung nation, regional differences persisted, and older forms of oral and handwritten communication offered alternatives to print. The early republic was a world of mixed media. With 66 halftones, 8 graphs, 12 tables, notes, index. Very fine. (27553) $40.00

31. (). WHITE, Eric. . A History of the Gutenberg Bible. Harvey Miller, 2017, quarto, in dust jacket. 456 pp. First Edition. The Gutenberg Bible is widely recognized as Europe's first printed book, a book that forever changed the world. However, despite its initial impact, fame was fleeting: for the better part of three centuries the Bible was virtually forgotten; only after two centuries of tenacious and contentious scholarship did it attain its iconic status as a monument of human invention. Editio princeps: A History of the Gutenberg Bible is the first book to tell the whole story of Europe's first printed edition, describing its creation at Mainz circa 1455, its impact on fifteenth-century life and religion, its fall into oblivion during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, and its rediscovery and rise to worldwide fame during the centuries thereafter. This comprehensive study examines the forty- nine surviving Gutenberg Bibles, and fragments of at least fourteen others, in the chronological order in which they came to light. Combining close analysis of material clues within the Bibles themselves with fresh documentary discoveries, the book reconstructs the history of each copy in unprecedented depth, from its earliest known context through every change of ownership up to the present day. Along the way it introduces the colorful cast of proud possessors, crafty booksellers, observant travelers, and scholarly librarians who shaped our understanding of Europe's first printed book. Bringing the 'biographies' of all the Gutenberg Bibles together for the first time, this richly illustrated study contextualizes both the historic cultural impact of the editio princeps and its transformation into a world treasure. With 71 black and white and 36 color illustrations and with a 51 page , New New. . (26247) $150.00

Books from the first two centuries of printing are full of marginalia and other signs of engagement and use, such as customized bindings, traces of food and drink, penmanship exercises, and doodles. These marks offer a vast archive of information about the lives of books and their place in the lives of their readers. Illustrated. Mild bend to back wrapper, else very fine and clean. Based on a survey of thousands of early printed books, Used Books describes what readers wrote in and around their books and what we can learn from these marks by using the tools of archaeologists as well as historians and literary critics. The chapters address the place of book-marking in schools and churches, the use of the "manicule" (the ubiquitous hand-with-pointing-finger symbol), the role played by women in information management, the extraordinary commonplace book used for nearly sixty years by Renaissance England's greatest lawyer-statesman, and the attitudes toward annotated books among collectors and librarians from the Middle Ages to the present.
