Beschreibung

Mixed run of issues from the New Series ofThe Library Chroniclewhich ran from 1970-1989, then switching to a volume numbering system. An invaluable resource from the heyday of Harry Ransom's aggressive acquisition activity at the University of Texas Humanities Research Center. A good example being number 9 from 1978 which begins with a note detailing the University's purchase of 11,000 books, maps, manuscripts, and pamphlets from the Eberstadt collection via the Jenkins Company in 1977. The long running journal was published periodically from 1944-1997. These issues from the New Series were nicely printed by the University and finely designed by prominent Texas printer, William Holman. Contributors include Ransom, Dobie, Hertzog, Farmer, Holman, Wittliff, and other Texas luminaries. A wide range of subjects are covered from medieval manuscripts to the fine printing of Texas and the Southwest and everything in between. 7 issues, 25x18cm, various paginations. Photographs, illustrations, facsimiles. All in illustrated card wrappers, Number 1 only with French flaps. Generally very good or better. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 5435
