What's New

See What We've Written for news of our most recent projects.

The June 2001 issue of the Papers of the Bibliographical Society of America gave Wayne's Arthur Ransome: A Bibliography a very positive review, calling it 'a bibliography that could well be taken as a working model for anyone engaged on a bibliography of a fairly well documented modern author. The extensive narrative notes of the circumstances of each item's publication and its relation to Ransome's biography give a fascinating instance of a bibliography serving as a creative biography. It is hard to conceive a better introduction to Ransome's literary career.'

The April 2001 issue of the Book and Magazine Collector has an article about Arthur Ransome, by Janet and David Whitehead, which includes a nice compliment about Wayne's new book: 'All of Ransome's publications, including his magazine contributions and translations of his works, are detailed in Wayne G. Hammond's excellent new Arthur Ransome: A Bibliography, jointly published by St Paul's Bibliographies and Oak Knoll Press of Delaware as part of their 'Winchester Bibliographies of 20th Century Writers' series. All the important editions are listed, and there is a list of works about Ransome as an appendix, as well as a detailed index. As usual with bibliographies, there are only a handful of illustrations, but the book is produced to a high standard, with acid-free paper and a sturdy cloth binding. The individual entries are detailed, and include descriptions of dustjackets - not always the case with bibliographies. All in all, this is an excellent book, and can be highly recommended.'
