About This Item
Atlanta: Atlanta Public Library, 1954. stapled, stiff paper wrappers. Georgia. small 8vo. stapled, stiff paper wrappers. Various paginations [295 total]. Thirteen volumes. Parts 1-13, plus the introductory volume. Covers show only the slightest hint of soiling; a few of the staples are rusty. The Atlanta Public Library put on the above series of exhibitions in 1954 and 1955. Not in Besterman; however, according to Besterman (2508), in 1956 this library produced a work entitled "Georgia 1800-1900...from the Georgiana Library of James Larwood." Since the number of bibliographic entries is the same and the pagination almost the same, we assume that it is a compilation of these exhibition catalogues of 1954-55, and that the anonymous "private collector" noted in the catalogues is Mr. Larwood. The set has a total of 294 annotated entries for books and maps, with 800+ listings for colonial currency, bank notes and the like, and 39 entries for Confederate treasury notes. Each volume has a short introduction, and many of the bibliographic entries have lengthy annotations. There are frequent illustrations: facsimiles of title pages, reproductions of prints, maps, etc. From the private reference library of Dorothy Sloan with a commemorative bookplate loosely inserted.

About Oak Knoll Books/Oak Knoll Press
Oak Knoll Books was founded in 1976 by Bob Fleck, a chemical engineer by training, who let his hobby get the best of him. Somehow making oil refineries more efficient using mathematics and computers paled in comparison to the joy of handling books. Oak Knoll Press, the second part of the business, was established in 1978 as a logical extension of Oak Knoll Books. Oak Knoll Books is a thriving company that maintains an inventory of about 20,000 titles. Our main specialties are books about bibliography, book collecting, book design, book illustration, book selling, bookbinding, bookplates, children's books, Delaware books, fine press books, forgery, graphic arts, libraries, literary criticism, marbling, papermaking, printing history, publishing, typography & type specimens, and writing & calligraphy - plus books about the history of all of these fields.
