The Library: Transactions of The Bibliographical Society
All aspects of descriptive, analytical, textual and historical bibliography come within its scope, including the history of the production, distribution and reception of books, both manuscript and printed; the history of collecting and of libraries; paper, printing types, book illustration, and binding; and the transmission of texts and their authenticity. Each quarterly issue of The Library contains approximately 120 pages, illustrated where necessary. As well as articles and notes, each issue includes book reviews and lists of recent books and periodicals in the field. A comprehensive index is issued annually. Offers of contributions to The Library should, from January 2008, be directed to the Hon. Editor designate:
who will assume full responsibility for editing the journal from 2009. Other correspondence concerning The Library should continue to be addressed to the present Hon. Editor:
Notes for contributors are available here. Books for review should be sent to the Hon. Review Editor:Dr Nicolas BellPublishers and others are asked to note that space in The Library for review is limited, and that only books of a definitely bibliographical character can be noticed fully. Brief, mainly descriptive notes will be published of relevant books received which cannot be given a full-length review. The Library does not deal with the techniques of modern library administration.
The Library is designed and produced by Oblong Creative Ltd, Wetherby, and printed by Henry Ling Ltd, Dorchester. The online version of the journal is published on behalf of the Bibliographical Society by Oxford University Press, which maintains free electronic Table of Contents, pages of recent volumes as well as an electronic full-text archive for subscribers and members of the Society.
