Announcing the first volume of

First Printings of American Authors

December publication planned for beginning of four-volume guide to first editions of 1,000 U. S. authors

• Modern scholarship and contemporary resources used to compile definitive record far exceeding scope of Merle Johnson's American First Editions and similar works

• Bruccoli and Clark are General Editors, assisted by fifty specialists and large advisory board

• New series will be handsomely typeset and bound, with portraits of each author, numerous facsimile pages, and other illustrations

First Printings of American Authors,recording the first book appearances of the works of over 1,000 important authors from Colonial times to the present, has been announced by the Gale Research Company, Detroit.

More than 150 of the expected 250 bibliographies in the first volume have already been completed, and publication is tentatively being planned for December, 1974. Succeeding volumes will appear six to nine months apart.

FirstPrintings includes both early and modern authors not in Merle Johnson's American First Editions as well as greatly enlarged and updated listings for those Johnson mentioned. A unique feature will be the inclusion of English firsts.

Coverage in the first volume ranges from Henry Adams, Auchincloss, and Auden through Thoreau, Vonnegut, and Whitman. Subsequent volumes will have equally broad coverage. A cumulative index will appear in successive volumes.

Editors of First Printings are Matthew J. Bruccoli, professor of English, University of South Carolina, and C. E. Frazer Clark, Jr., noted collector. Assisting them are more than fifty widely known bibliographers, collectors, curators, librarians, book dealers, and other book world figures who have special expertise and resources which enable them to prepare authoritative reports on their subjects.

• Illustrations supplement bibliographies

The basic part of each author’s listing will be, of course, compact bibliographic descriptions of each of his books as first published in both America and England. Each listing will include a portrait of the author. In addition, facsimile title and text pages, photographs of bindings, etc., will be used where appropriate to highlight unusual features of a book or to illustrate a particularly important work.

The set is being carefully designed in a handsome format, 8Vi x 11 inches in size, and will be composed, printed, and bound in the best traditions of bookmaking.

• 10% Prepublication Saving Offered

The price of First Printings of American Authors is $140.00 for the four volumes.

A special prepublication discount of $14.00 will be allowed, however, reducing the price to $ 126.00.
