Title: The Annual Catalogue 1736 to 37. English Bibliographical Sources Series 1.

Summary: The Annual Catalogue, 1736–37. English Bibliographical Sources Series 1 is a facsimile reprint (published by Gregg Press in 1965 as English Bibliographical Sources, Series 1, No. 5) of two rare eighteenth-century annual catalogues of books issued in London in 1737 and 1738. Today, The Annual Catalogue is an important primary source for historians of the eighteenth-century book trade. It provides evidence of:

• The range and volume of books published annually in Britain.

• Publishing and bookselling networks in Georgian London.

• Contemporary book prices.

• Reading interests and intellectual trends during the early eighteenth century.

• The development of commercial bibliographies before more systematic national bibliographies emerged.
