The Library
is the journal of the Bibliographical Society. For more
than a hundred years it has been the pre-eminent scholarly
journal for the study of bibliography and of the role
of the book in history.
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.
An online
version of the issue can be found on the Oxford University
Press web
site.
