What did America choose to print as it became a nation? A nation's paper trail, mapped. Charles Evans's American bibliography is the landmark chronological bibliography reference for tracing printed life in the United States from the genesis of printing in 1639 to 1820. This bibliographical dictionary volume (Volume II) carries forward Evans's meticulous historical book catalog of books, pamphlets and periodical publications, supported by concise bibliographical and biographical notes that help place names, presses and titles in context. Whether you are following the rise of sermons, newspapers, political tracts or local histories, the entries form a usable colonial periodical publications index and an american pamphlet literature guide you can return to again and again. For scholars of early american printing history, this work remains a cornerstone of librarians research reference and the standard gateway to american imprints 1639-1820 across the colonial and early republic. It also speaks to curious readers who love the texture of everyday culture: what communities valued, debated and preserved in ink. Rare book collectors will recognise its place alongside the sabin americana bibliography as a complete early american bibliography that sharpens searches, verifies editions and enriches provenance. Use it as a rare book collectors guide when hunting first editions, or as a steady compass when building reading lists and exhibition narratives too. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike.
