4. Beal, Peter and Grace Ioppolo, (editors). Elizabeth I and the Culture of Writing. London : British Library, 2007, octavo, blue boards in dust jacket. xvi, 221pp. First Edition. As Queen of England for nearly forty-five years, Elizabeth I left behind a formidable and fascinating paper trail. She wrote copiously, including works in verse and in prose, original works and translations, treatises, prayers, and speeches, but as the essays collected in Elizabeth I and the Culture of Writing demonstrate, Elizabeth did not simply participate in the cultural phenomenon of the growth of writing—as the most powerful person in Britain, her example played an instrumental part in its spread. These essays consider all facets of Elizabeth ’s role in the culture of writing from the private to the political and bring to light many newly discovered documents. H. R. Woudhuysen scrutinizes the Queen’s handwriting, Jane Lawson looks at the books Elizabeth received as gifts, Peter Beal examines the execution warrants she was obliged to sign, and Steven May gives an account of the prayers and letters of condolence Elizabeth wrote. Ultimately this textual record of the Queen’s reign reveals a dauntingly complex identity—at once sovereign, spectator, friend, woman, creator, muse, and icon.

One of 550 copies printed. “Fine binders were almost unknown in nineteenth-century America , forcing collectors to send their volumes to France or England to be bound. Accordingly, a pioneering group of Grolier Club members -- among them the great bibliophiles Robert Hoe, Samuel Putnam Avery, William Loring Andrews, Junius S. Morgan and Edwin C. Holden -- decided to create a bindery in America that would rival the finest imported work, regardless of cost. And that they did, employing as their chief finishers the Frenchmen Henri Hardy (a former apprentice to the great nineteenth-century binder Charles Meunier), and Léon Maillard, thought by some to have been the premier finisher of his time. Established in a New York workshop, these artisans and their staff employed an array of sumptuous binding leathers, often elaborately and luxuriously tooled and gilt, along with exotic end-leaves and papers, rivaling the output of the best Parisian ateliers. But because it operated for little more than a decade, the Club Bindery’s best and most elaborate efforts have seldom been seen by the public, and never properly appreciated.” Design and typography by Jerry Kelly. With 28 full- page color plates of which four are tipped-in and 46 full-page black and white plates of fine bindings crafted by The Club Bindery, The Rowfant Bindery, The Booklover’s Shop and The French Binders.

33. (CARTOGRAPHY). SCHWARTZ, Seymour I. The Mismapping of America . ( Rochester ): Univ of Rochester Press, (2003), octavo, boards in dust jacket. (xviii), (234). First Edition. The Mismapping of America presents and analyzes the significant cartographic errors that have shaped the history of the United States . Perhaps the most blatant error is the very name “ America ,” that honors Amerigo Vespucci, who not only never set foot on North American soil, but also played no significant role in the discovery of South America . The appearance of the name “ America ” imprinted on a map ensured its permanence. Other significant errors explored in The Mismapping of America include: Giovanni da Verrazzano’s misinterpretation of Pamlico or Albermarle Sound for the Pacific Ocean, thereby suggesting the presence of an isthmus in the middle of the North American continent, the existence of a direct North West passage between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, the misconception that California was an island, and the insertion on Lake Superior of a fictitious island that is specifically referred to in defining the boundary of the United States. The inclusion of pertinent rare maps enhances this rich and revealing narrative of several intriguing episodes in the history of the geographic evolution of the United States .

It brings together a community of individuals who share the love of books and provides them a forum to educate one another about the history, production, and preservation of books; about the appreciation of the beauty of their content and design; and about the joys of reading them. In its one hundred years, the Club has published sixty books that are distinguished by their content and design. Nineteen are important historical works, sixteen describe the history of printing and bookbinding, seven relate to bibliophiles and book collecting, and the remaining eighteen comprise a miscellany of poetry, literary works, plays, an opera, and other items.” In conjunction with its centennial celebration, the Caxton Club has published a history of the Club that includes an up-to-date bibliography of the Club’s publications as well as biographies of Caxtonians who have contributed prominently to the advancement of the book and the Club.
