A Bibliography of the Folio Society 1947-2006

By Sue Bradbury, Joseph Connolly, David McKitterick · 2007

Synopsis

This bibliography extends the record of a London fine-edition publisher from 1947 to 2006, listing well over a thousand books with author, introducer, translator, illustrator, type, printer, and binding. Essays by Sue Bradbury, Joseph Connolly, and David McKitterick discuss the thinking and organisation behind the list, from commissioning and design to how the books were meant to be read and kept. Hundreds of images show bindings and illustrations. The volume is a reference history of a publishing programme, not a collection of the texts themselves.
