The Illustration of Robinson Crusoe, 1719-1920. — BLEWETT, David

The Illustration of Robinson Crusoe, 1719-1920.

BLEWETT, David
Colin Smythe
1995, 235pp. Illustrated. Cloth, with dust jacket. In very good condition.
"Defoe's Robinson Crusoe has exerted a powerful fascination of generations of readers since its publication in 1719. And not only readers, but artists too; few works have ever been published in so many illustrated editions. In this analysis of over 100 representative illustrations Blewett shows both how Crusoe as a figure in the Western imagination and Robinson Crusoe as a text have been viewed and interpreted by illustrators and engravers not only in the English speaking world but in Europe as well. His unique study is an invaluable work not only for fans of Defoe's most famous work, but for everyone interested in the history of book illustration."

Scribbles in the Margins. 50 Eternal Delights of Books. — GRAY, Daniel

Scribbles in the Margins. 50 Eternal Delights of Books.

GRAY, Daniel
Bloomsbury Publishing
2017, 160pp.
"SHORTLISTED FOR THE BOOKS ARE MY BAG READERS AWARDS! We lead increasingly time-poor lifestyles, bombarded 24/7 by petrifying news bulletins, internet trolls and endless noises. Where has the joy and relaxation gone from our daily lives? Scribbles in the Margins offers a glorious antidote to that relentless modern-day information churn. It is here to remind you that books and bookshops can still sing to your heart. Warm, heartfelt and witty, here are fifty short essays of prose poetry dedicated to the simple joy to be found in reading and the rituals around it. These are not wallowing nostalgia; they are things that remain pleasurable and right, that warm our hearts and connect us to books, to reading and to other readers smells of books, old or new; losing an afternoon organising bookshelves; libraries; watching a child learn to read; reading in bed; impromptu bookmarks; visiting someone's home and inspecting the bookshelves; stains and other reminders of where and when you read a book. An attempt to fondly weigh up what makes a book so much more than paper and ink - and reading so much more than a hobby, a way of passing time or a learning process - these declarations of love demonstrate what books and reading mean to us as individuals, and the cherished part they play in our lives, from the vivid greens and purples of childhood books to the dusty comfort novels we turn to in times of adult flux. Scribbles in the Margins is a love-letter to books and bookshops, rejoicing in the many universal and sometimes odd little ways that reading and the rituals around reading make us happy."

Kurt Wolff. Ein Literat und Gentleman.

WEIDL, Barbara (Herausgeber)
Weidle Verlag
2007, 289S. Illustriert. Softcover. Sehr gut erhalten.
"Dieser opulente Band zu Leben und Werk des Verlegers Kurt Wolff (1887 - 1963) begleitet eine Ausstellung, die im Mai 2007 im August Macke Haus, Bonn, eröffnet wird und anschließend in der Deutschen Nationalbibliothek Frankfurt und im Literaturhaus Wien zu sehen sein wird. Kurt Wolff war nicht nur Verleger, sondern auch Herausgeber, Kunstliebhaber, Hörfunkautor, Hotelier und ein passionierter Briefschreiber - mit einem großen Talent zur Freundschaft. In die Geschichte eingegangen ist er in erster Linie durch seine Schriftenreihe »Der Jüngste Tag«, in der u.a. Franz Kafka, Emmy Hennings, Franz Werfel, Johannes R. Becher, Carl Sternheim und viele andere Autoren des Expressionismus publizierten. Mit Heinrich Manns Roman Der Untertan und Gustav Meyrinks Golem gelangen Wolff in den 10er Jahren Bestseller. Das Buch widmet sich einzelnen Aspekten dieses vielseitigen Lebens, so wird der Briefwechsel Wolffs mit Karl Kraus - für den er einen eigenen Verlag gründete - hier zum ersten Mal vollständig publiziert, ebenso wie Auszüge aus Wolffs Tagebüchern und Briefe von Künstlern und Autoren, die bisher nicht veröffentlicht wurden. Auch die Jugend Kurt Wolffs in Bonn und sein familiärer Hintergrund werden beleuchtet. Die bedeutende Publikationstätigkeit im Exil wird gleichfalls dargestellt, ebenso Wolffs Beziehungen zur bildenden Kunst."

DAVIS, Margaret Leslie
Atlantic Books
2019, 304pp. Illustrated. Hardcover, with dust jacket. As new! Pakketzending.
'An entertaining and insightful human story of obsession about books.' Daily Telegraph 'A lively tale of historical innovation, the thrill of the bibliophile's hunt, greed and betrayal.' New York Times The never-before-told story of one extremely rare copy of the Gutenberg Bible, and its impact on the lives of the fanatical few who were lucky enough to own it. For rare book collectors, an original copy of the Gutenberg Bible - there are only forty-six in existence - is the undisputed gem of any collection. The Lost Gutenberg recounts five centuries in the life of one particular copy of the Bible from its very creation by Johannes Gutenberg in Mainz, Germany, to its ultimate resting place, in a steel vault under the protection of the Japanese government. Margaret Leslie Davis draws readers into this incredible saga, inviting them into the colourful lives of each of its fanatic collectors along the way. Exploring books as objects of desire across centuries, Davis will leave readers not only with a broader understanding of the culture of rare book collectors, but with a deeper awareness of the importance of books in our world.

Early Victorian Illustrated Books. Britain, France and Germany 1820-1860 — BUCHANAN-BROWN, John

Early Victorian Illustrated Books. Britain, France and Germany 1820-1860

BUCHANAN-BROWN, John
The British Library - Oak Knoll Press
2005, 320pp. Illustrated. Cloth, with dust jacket. In very good condition. Pakketzending.
Writing over fifty years ago, the bibliographer Percy Muir noted that the 'immediate post-Bewick period' had been 'unduly neglected,' and this is still true today. In this major new study, John Buchanan-Brown remedies this neglect and demonstrates the importance of the period from 1820 to 1860 in the history of the illustrated book. These years saw the establishment of the technique of end-grain wood-engraving as the dominant mediuum of graphic reproduction. Its great advantage was that, as a relief process, it could reproduce both the image and the text simultaneously, and this allowed the publishing industry to feed what had become an insatiable appetite for illustrated books and journals. Although end-grain engraving was an English phenomenon, it was the French who first applied the process to book design. In turn, German illustrators were to influence the style of British illustrators. Thus wood-engraving naturally plays a leading role in this study, but it does not overshadow the other means of graphic reproduction employed during this period lithography, chromolithography, and steel-engraving and etching. The study illustrates the work of French and German artists and their influence upon their British counterparts. The pioneering study also includes appendices on aspects of wood- and steel-engraving in England, notes on French and German illustrators and a glossary of technical terms. It is illustrated by some 250 reproductions in black and white, and eight pages in color.

Merchants of Culture. The Publishing Business in the Twenty-First Century. (HARDCOVER)

THOMPSON, John B.
Polity Press
2010, 440pp. Hardcover, with dust jacket. In very good condition.
"These are turbulent times in the world of book publishing. For nearly five centuries the methods and practices of book publishing remained largely unchanged, but at the dawn of the twenty-first century the industry finds itself faced with perhaps the greatest challenges since Gutenberg. A combination of economic pressures and technological change is forcing publishers to alter their practices and think hard about the future of the books in the digital age. In this book - the first major study of trade publishing for more than 30 years - Thompson situates the current challenges facing the industry in an historical context, analysing the transformation of trade publishing in the United States and Britain since the 1960s. He gives a detailed account of how the world of trade publishing really works, dissecting the roles of publishers, agents and booksellers and showing how their practices are shaped by a field that has a distinctive structure and dynamic."

By His Own Labor. The Biography of Dard Hunter. — BAKER, Cathleen

By His Own Labor. The Biography of Dard Hunter.

BAKER, Cathleen
Oak Knoll Press
2000, XXV,332pp.+ plates. Cloth, with dust jacket. 1,4kg. In good condition.
"Dard Hunter (1883-1966) began his career in the book arts as a craftsman and designer in the American Arts & Crafts Movement. In the first decades of the 20th century, Hunter's avant-garde designs were seen in the popular books and decorative arts produced by Elbert Hubbard's Roycrofters. Despite the success of his modern designs, Hunter became intrigued by the ancient handcrafts of papermaking, typefounding, and letterpress printing. An anachronism among colleagues, Hunter remained true to his philosophy to make books by hand, striving for the highest craft standards. Dard Hunter was a unique blend of craftsman and scholar - a dichotomy he regarded as essential to the understanding and appreciation of the book arts. Hunter's legacy is manifest in the revival of hand papermaking in this country, and he remains an inspiration to all who are involved in the creation of handmade objects."

Benjamin Franklin: Writer and Printer. (HARDCOVER) — GREEN, James / STALLYBRASS, Peter

Benjamin Franklin: Writer and Printer. (HARDCOVER)

GREEN, James / STALLYBRASS, Peter
Oak Knoll Press - The British Library
2006, 179pp. Illustrated. Cloth, with dust jacket. In very good condition.
2006 is the 200th anniversary of the birth of Benjamin Franklin. His tremendous achievements encompassed roles as scientist, politician and international ambassador, but Franklin began his career as a printer, and when he retired in 1748, he had created the largest printing business in colonial America. Much of what we know about Franklin as writer and printer comes from his (unfinished) autobiography, the focus of the last part of this book. The posthumous publishing histories of this autobiography and of his work The Way to Wealth illuminate the transformation of Benjamin Franklin, printer and publisher, into Benjamin Franklin, author, and the most famous American writer of the nineteenth century. 'James Green and Peter Stallybrass have succeeded in an impossible task to draw a fresh and unexpected portrait of Benjamin Franklin as writer and printer. Their deeply researched and elegantly crafted book challenges the cliches about Franklin's relation to the written word.' - Roger Chartier.

Spire Books
2005, 144pp. Illustrated. Paperback. In very good condition.
This book gathers together thirteen interviews with William Morris which appeared in newspapers or journals between 1885 and 1896, the year of his death. Taken as a whole, the interviews give us a vivid sense of Morris as he appeared to his contemporaries of his range of activities and preoccupations, his places of work and leisure, his clothes, gestures, moods and phrases. In these interviews we see Morris to be intellectually restless, constantly pressing forward into new fields of artistic endeavour, and always relating these to the wider politics of his society.

Print For Victory. Book Publishing in Britain 1939-1945. — HOLMAN, Valerie

Print For Victory. Book Publishing in Britain 1939-1945.

HOLMAN, Valerie
London, The British Library
2008, xii,292pp. Illustrated. Cloth, with dust jacket. In very good condition.
This is the first in-depth study on the role of British publishing in 1939-45, an aspect of the World War Two that other books have not covered in any detail. Although frequently referred to as a barren interlude stunted by war and austerity (paper rationing played a crucial role), the period was also marked by innovation in book design, changes in the pattern of trade (the time when Penguin became hugely profitable, and also when a surprising number of shiploads of books were exported), and the advent of new readers in the UK and elsewhere.The book analyses the pivotal role played by publishers in relations between Government and people, shedding light on the intervention by wartime ministries at all stages of book production, and assesses the extent to which war affected the corpus of literature that was published. This fascinating period has been intensively studied by social and political historians but is virtually untouched by historians of the book until now. This major new study draws extensively on previously unpublished and often un-catalogued archive material, and will fill a gap in the book history market.

Booking Pleasures. — MATTHEWS, Jack

Booking Pleasures.

MATTHEWS, Jack
Ohio University Press
1995, 191pp. Illustrated. Cloth, with dust jacket. In very good condition.
"The covetous foraging for old and rare books, is how Matthews defines booking. It is an act which leads naturally to the pleasures of adding them to one's personal library, then reading them as instruments of light and measure in a murky and chaotic world. The understanding that books are intrinsic to civilized living is wisdom as old as civilization itself; it is affirmed here, in their various ways, by the people who inspire and inhabit these pages the quasi-literate clerk of the steamboat Science on the Ohio River in 1835; a young fiction writer who got drunk one night and stole the bust of Edgar Allen Poe from the Poe Museum in Richmond, Virginia; and a guru of the computer age, who writes Books have always been important to me and to the people around me. Matthews explores the collecting of old dictionaries, whose definitions can be read as a sort of poetry; an 1840's rhyming book once used as a mnemonic tool for small children; and the wildly scrawled annotations of an exuberant painter in a battered copy of Thomas Hart Benton's An Artist in America. In other essays, Matthews compares booking with Charles Darwin's passion for collecting beetles; follows Nero Wolfe of the Rex Stout novels, who grew tentatively into a vivid and fascinating detective; and celebrates the zealous idealism of 1890s fraternity boys as reflected by some of their century-old publications. In sharing Matthews's adventures as an implacable bookman, readers will find, not an escape from life, but new entrance ways through old books."

Memoirs of a Bookman. (HARDCOVER)

MATTHEWS, Jack
Ohio University Press
1989, 178pp. Illustrated. Cloth, with dust jacket. In good condition.
"These memoirs are the reminiscences of Jack Matthews his adventures in seeking out, collecting, and reading old and rare books, along with reflections upon time, memory, and other mysteries. In one piece, he measures the psychological distance from when he first saw Lake Erie at the age of four - the sight of which u201ctook his breath away - to many decades later, when, as he was flying from Detroit to Cleveland, Lake Erie revealed both shores and gave his breath back, depriving him of the first absolute he can remember. Elsewhere, he ponders upon how strangely our lifespans overlap others, telling about his father driving in his Model T and picking up an old Indian who said he'd been a scout for Custer, surviving Big Horn by hiding under corpses. Such purviews, Matthews believes, give a sense of mythic reach-much as do the old books and manuscripts he loves to collect. Other pieces in his Memoirs tell of a famous English poet's last years in a tiny Ohio town; an old frontier medical book that prescribes such medicines as snake root, sawdust, and rye whiskey; an 1863 Unionist Kentucky newspaper advertising a slave auction; and 150 year old jest books, filled with such dreary specimens that one wonders how desperate people were to find mirth in them. In these reflections, old books and human realities are inextricably mingled, providing warm and thoughtful insights by a self-described u201cphilosophical sentimentalist."

Nach Herstellern geordnet, präsentiert VW Bus-Kenner David Eccles die interessantesten Camping-Ausbauten für die Baureihen T1 bis T5, die in den letzten sechs Jahrzehnten weltweit entstanden sind. Detailliert und mit seltenem Bildmaterial bestückt, beschreibt dieses Buch die von professionellen, über ihre Landesgrenzen hinaus bekannten Umbaufirmen - wie Westfalia, Devon, Danburry, Viking oder Dormobile - angebotenen Modelle und verschiedenen Innenausstattungen, die aus einem VW Bus einen richtigen Camper machen.

Sehr schnell entdeckte aber auch die nach dem Krieg gerade boomende Szene der Campingfreunde in aller Welt die Vorteile des variantenreichen Raumwunders aus Norddeutschland. Große und kleine Umbaufirmen entwarfen manch pfiffige und ausgeklügelte Lösung, damit der Kleinbus für alle Ansprüche und Anforderungen sowohl kurzer als auch langer Reisen gerüstet war.
