From the introduction: "This is the most substantial listing of the underground and alternative press in Britain, 1965-1974 (with some coverage of 1975) that has been possible after extensive research over many years... I have, for the most part, excluded poetry and traditional politics - though entries have been included for those titles which were an important part of the underground and alternative press. In the absence of any other listing, and in view of their importance to the counter-culture of the time, I have included entries for anarchic and libertarian titles in this period...Very few of the titles listed in the Directory are held by public or academic libraries in Britain, and what few holdings do exist are fragmentary. The Librarian of University College London kindly provided me with a photocopy of the card catalogue of the Little Magazines section of the library, and relevant holdings are listed in the Directory. Locations noted in the course of my own research, and that of my publishers, are included for other libraries."

1,300 copies of which 600 for sale From the blurb: "Illustrated Periodicals of the 1860s provides a new and informative approach to the study of'sixties' periodicals, revealing the previously unstudied area of the complex interrelationships between the various parties involved in the production of these magazines: publishers, editors, artists, engravers, and authors. The book considers the effects of these relationships on creative output, both artistic and literary, and in so doing provides a detailed, historical reconstruction of the essential character of the periodicals of that era. Included are over 120 reproductions of engravings and preparatory drawings, almost all of them original size. Appendices consider the work that goes into collecting and researching these periodicals, with lists of the key illustrators, engravers, publishers, and editors, as well as the magazines mentioned throughout the text. An informative and colourful choice for those interested in production of magazines, and art in the mid-Victorian era."

From the blurb: "On February 21, 1975, the publication date of this book, The New Yorker will be exactly fifty years old. For almost forty of these years, Brendan Gill has been a contented inmate of that singular institution, and this endearing and affectionate account of the magazine, which has been described as a home for congenital unemployables, is his private celebration of these two anniversaries. In the course of his long career on The New Yorker, Brendan Gill has written short stories, poems, Profiles, Reporters at Large, book reviews, movie reviews, play reviews, scores of "Talk of the Town" pieces, and even a few obituaries. In this memoir of mostly merry times, we catch glimpses of such originals as William Shawn, Ross's gentle and courtly successor as editor; that incorrigible mischief-maker James Thurber; the two Whites, Katharine and E.B.; John O'Hara, "master of the fancied slight," who once wanted Gill's head on a platter (a silver platter, of course, for O'Hara had high standards); and, among perhaps a hundred others, Wolcott Gibbs, Peter Arno, Janet Flanner, William Steig, Lois Long, Saul Steinberg, Edmund Wilson, Lewis Mumford, A.J. Liebling, and Joseph Mitchell. Mr. Gill has known them all, and since he is a man with virtually total recall, a keen eye, and an impeccable prose style, his diverting portraits of these eccentrics in rage, repose, and off guard are amply supplied with both dimples and warts. Richly illustrated throughout with cartoons, photographs, drawings, decorations, and memorabilia, and with a jacket drawn especially for the book by Charles Addams, Here at The New Yorker is as delightful to the eye as it is entertaining to its reader."

"Perhaps one of the richest sources for material on the history of the stage in Great Britain, its theatres, plays, actors, managers, and influence, lies in the dramatic periodicals which have appeared in the last two and a half centuries. In general, these English periodicals cover every phase of theatre life: in them are bills, criticisms of plays and productions, biographies of playwrights and actors, comments on managers and salaries, laws affecting the stage and theatre, anecdotes, portraits, gossip and, occasionally, an original play. While some of the journals are small daily publications, listing playbills, and offering but brief criticisms on the evening's performances, others are weeklies or monthlies which devote themselves to every phase of theatrical activity. Each, regardless of size or frequency, has things to offer students of the drama of an era or of individual plays. To attempt more than a bibliographical analysis of the 674 periodicals in the present list would be a task far beyond the compiler's intention. An introductory consideration of some of the early journals, however, may serve to indicate the general plan and scope of the theatrical magazines." - from the introduction.

The Contents - Subject Index has been compiled in the hope that it may be of considerable service in connection with subjects of general importance, and even to some extent "with a large number of subjects of less moment, but upon which occasionally a. little information may be of interest, and sometimes even of great value. As its title implies, it is not an index to works devoted entirely to particular subjects, but is intended to supply a pressing want by indexing under subject headings important articles and references from the contents of works which would otherwise remain practically unknown and valueless. The chief aim of the work is not to give everything which appears in a select number of works on a few selected subjects, but rather to cover as many subjects as possible and give a few references to each one. Coverafe is approximately 1850-1897.
