Harvester Press, Hassocks, 1978 reprint of 1959 second edition. Cloth, 8vo,. xxviii, 624 pp. 6,543 entries. This bibliography is designed to present a systematic survey of the material in print relative to the history of Tudor England. It includes books and pamphlets, essays and monographs, as well as significant contributions to the subject in journals and in the transactions of learned societies. In all chapters, except those dealing with cultural and local history, it aims to include with something approaching completeness all important collections of printed sources. Each subsection has an introductory note emphasizing the more important works. This edition is exhaustive to 1 January, 1957, with some later works included. A few items from the first edition were dropped, and about 2,500 added. Many entries are briefly annotated.

Cloth, 8vo,. xiii, 403 pp. Over 3,200 entries. This superb reference work is the most comprehensive bibliography of wine titles in English, with over 3,200 items described. If a book is primarily about 'wine', or adds significantly to wine literature, and is wholly or partially in English, it has been included. Books about wine-making, viticulture, wineries and wine history form the backbone of the book, but the term 'wine book' has been interpreted in the broadest sense. Books about wine glasses, wine bottles, decanters and other wine accessories have also been listed, for they form an essential part of wine drinking and wine lore. Pamphlets pre-dating 1941 have also been included. For each entry there are included the following details when known: author, title, place of publication, publisher, date of publication, pagination and whether illustrated. Another important feature of the book is an attempt to convey something of the history of wine literature. There are biographies of most of the more prominent writers, and over 1,000 annotations, reviews and vignettes.The annotations cover such diverse information as historical information about the author, a review of the book, subsequent editions, etc. Fine in Fine dustwrapper., Bacchus Press Ltd, Baltimore, first edition, 1985, 1985, 5, McPherson & Company 1983.
