Description:
Yasuhiko Kageyama, Tokyo, first edition, 2001. Limited edition of 120 copies. Cloth, 4to,. [4], 108, [1] pp, ills. From the foreword by Lotte Hellinga: "Mr. Kageyama's ..explorations took place within the confine of the one book, the Recuyell. Like every traveller who finds himself in a strange, metropolitan city he sharpened his senses and made full use of personal skills, in his case those of a trained engineer. He has used guide - books and asked directions of those inmates (or fellow travellers) who looked potentially helpful, but the route he took is all his own. No scholar trained in Western traditions would have taken precisely the same route. There is all the more reason to pay careful attention to the points where he paused, and to enjoy Mr. Kageyama's Venn diagrams of word-pairs, his notion of the 'glossary' as well as its carefully proportioned presentation, observation on the engraving in the copy in the H. E. Huntington Library, his 'listening' to the… Read More

Description:
Baker Library, Harvard Graduate School of Business Administration, Boston, first edition, 1960. Printed wrappers, paper cover-label, 4to, 26 cm,. viii, 104 pp, 1 plate. From the introduction: ".. the contents of this Brochure represent - both in importance and character -precisely that blend of bibliographical and historical knowledge which it is our aim to advance. The London Livery Companies, in their longevity and their balance of business and social functions, are unique institutions. More than this, their significance in the economic and social history of both London and England is a further reason why they merit intensive study. A multitude of scholars have acknowledged these facts - but all too few have labored in this particular vine-yard. Mr. Kahl, in his bibliography and his introductory essay, demonstrates beyond disproof that it is a fertile one. Commencing as medieval guilds, the Livery Companies have retained their corporate strength for 500 years by a constant realignment of… Read More

Hutchinson & Co. (Publishers) Ltd., London, first edition, 1960. Cloth, 8vo, 24 cm,. 303 pp. From the blurb: "The universe in which we live has hitherto been subject to independent lines of study so Cosmology that we have the distinct disciplines of astronomy, physics, chemistry, geology and many others. In this book there is an approach from the prevailing fragmentation towards a measure of integration. More than thirty years ago Pro-fessor Kapp developed a theory of continuous origin and extinction of matter. As he compared this with other theories it appeared to him that his, which he called 'The Hypothesis of the Symmetrical Impermanence of Matter', was the only one that could stand up to the stringent tests of scientific method. He published little about his theory at the time, but over the years has seen that it can explain many phenomena that have hitherto baffled scientists. Among them are the origin and rotation of the spiral nebulae, stars and planets; gravitation; various… Read More

In a leaflet publicising the book to the book trade Karslake wrote: "..the work was a labour of love, done because I saw that it ought to be done and not caring very much whether it paid or not, but because my experience in bookselling showed me that Sotheby’s catalogues contained a mine of hidden wealth which only required digging out for it to be of immense service to every seller of books’. The volume consisted of particularly detailed descriptions of some two thousand major books and manuscripts sold by the firm between 1885 and 1909." - quoted by Frank Herrmann in his "Sotheby-s - Portrait of an Auction House".

From the introduction: "This study has two main objectives : first, to present in concise form the most complete data available on the published works accessible to the English people in certain major types of community libraries; and, second, to discover as far as possible the use of and influence of such collections on the temper and evolution of social development, primarily during the rise of the libraries in the eighteenth century. That the efforts involved in such objectives are long overdue must be obvious to the thoughtful student of library history. The effort to assemble the evidence has never been attempted on a country-wide scale : we have not known in exact detail, how many so-called circulating and other types of libraries could be identified or exactly what were their holdings as far as relatively few known catalogues could reveal them.… Read More

Werner Shaw, London / Oak Knoll Press, New Castle, first edition, 1995. Cloth, 8vo, 24 cm,. x, 350 pp, ills. From the blurb: "In 'The Company We Kept' Barbara Kaye told the story of how the old established antiquarian book firm of Elkin Mathews survived the war years after evacuation to rural Essex in 1939. Now she carries on the story from 1945 to 1955, when Elkin Mathews expanded and her bibliophile husband, Percy Muir, became increasingly involved in the national and international politics of the antiquarian book trade. It was during this time that the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers (ILAB) was formed and the description of Percy Muir's part in this process provides a fascinating account of an historic event. Percy Muir became president of the ILAB in 1950 and on his retirement from office he was unanimously elected Life President of Honor. The Muirs' commitment to the ILAB meant they were often traveling to Europe to attend the annual conferences, which they… Read More
