About This Item
London : Galahad Press, 1969. Revised Edition. Hardcover. Very good cloth copy in a good if somewhat edge-torn (with some minor loss) and dust-toned dw, now mylar-sleeved. Remains quite well-preserved overall; tight, bright, clean and strong. Physical description: 125 p. : facsims., port. ; 27 cm. Notes: List of William Pickering's publications: pp. 47-96. Includes index. Summary: Sir Geoffrey Keynes's monograph on the distinguished and influential English publisher, William Pickering, is a classic of its kind. It is also rare, since the original edition was limited to 350 copies, and published by The Fleuron in 1924. This new edition adopts the same formats and some other features as the original production, but is no slavish imitation, and there are important changes in the text. Sir Geoffrey Keynes, reviewing his work of some 45 years ago, has revised and extended the Memoir of William Pickering, written a Preface, and augmented the list of Pickering's publications. Subject: Pickering, William. Bibliographies. Pickering Publishers. Pickering Biography. Pickering, William. Bibliographies. Other names: Keynes, Geoffrey 1887-1982. PICKERING, William (1796-1854) Publisher and Bookseller.
