[Rarebooks] Updates / wants

[Philip R. Bishop]

Greetings everybody!

Of course, I'm always looking for great MOSHER PRESS material, much like is 
suggested by this website. The MOSHER PRESS website is generously hosted by 
Millersville University at 
<http://marauder.millersville.edu/~mosher/index1.html>, and has again been
updated as of 10 March 2005, including:

(1)
Four additional essays added to Bishop's published writings, including on
the recent Club Bindery exhibition; travel to Portland, ME; a lengthy 
listing of new acquisitions; and an essay on the Tynan-Wyndham connection, 
all at:
http://marauder.millersville.edu/~mosher/other/bishopbio.html#elsewhere

(2)
Improved transcriptions to the "Piracy Controversy" links at
http://marauder.millersville.edu/~mosher/piracy/pagelinks/critic.htm

(3)
Several more books were added to the "Books from Mosher's Library in the
Bishop Collection" at
http://marauder.millersville.edu/~mosher/bishop/books_from_mosher_library.htm

(4)
A new acquisition was added to the books printed on real vellum (Primavera) 
at
http://marauder.millersville.edu/~mosher/bishop/real_vellum.html

(5)
Several new bindings on Mosher books (with links to pictures) have also been
added to the "Mosher Press Fine Bindings" in the Bishop Collection including
a Rubáiyát and an exhibition binding by René Chambolle on a copy of Aucassin
& Nicolete. Links on these are available under "Group 2" at
http://marauder.millersville.edu/~mosher/bindings/bindings.html

Of course, we welcome any comments any of you might have with regard to the
MOSHER PRESS website's contents and/or presentation. On the acquisitions 
side, PLEASE feel free to quote me any good MOSHER PRESS related material 
like:

-- Mosher books in fine highly decorated full leather signed bindings

-- Books from Mosher's library with his bookplate or inscription

-- Letters to / from Thomas Bird Mosher

-- Extra-illustrated / watercolored copies of the Mosher Books

Best wishes,

Phil B.
