For those of you interested in book publishing in London, an item you might
miss, in a book you should not!!

"St. Paul's Precinct and the book trade to 1800" by James Raven in

"St Paul's, the Cathedral Church of London 604-2004," Yale University
Press, 2004, pp. 430-438.

isbn 0 300 09276 8

Not an appropriate book  for a map library, but certainly it belongs in any
general research library, theological library, English studies library.

James Raven has other publications in London book history if you are
seeking the context in which our mappy folk worked.

Enjoy.
