PRINTING IN NEW JERSEY 1754 - 1800 A DESCRIPTIVE BIBLIOGRAPHY. A comprehensive and detailed bibliography of the earliest printing in New Jersey and winner of the Bibliographical Society of America's 2014 St. Louis Mercantile Library Prize, compiled by the great collector and Americanist, Joe Felcone. Unquestionably the most complete bibliography of the state to this time, Printing in New Jersey includes hundreds of previously unrecorded pamphlets, periodicals, broadsides, and books, all fully collated and described. Felcone also provides copy-specific details for each located copy of the over 1000 recorded works, as well as useful historical annotations. In addition to the core bibliography, Felcone has included additional works which lack New Jersey imprints but likely originated from New Jersey presses, corrects works mistakenly attributed to New Jersey printers by past bibliographers, and adds a series of detailed appendices which track New Jersey printers, booksellers, and others involved in the complex network of print distribution in the 18th century.An indispensable resource for the bibliography of New Jersey, and for 18th-century American print history writ large.
