These volumes constitute a reference work of importance not only for literature specialists, bibliographers, and historians of book production but also for economic, social, and political historians. Not only do they bring together records from a variety of separate printed sources, thereby making explicit their interconnections, but also they make accessible some less well-known manuscript sources, notably from the Stationers' Company archives. Most importantly the "Chronology and Calendar" extends the earlier work of Arber, Greg, and Jackson on the earlier seventeenth century. As a chronological sequence, the volumes meet the need for a preliminary narrative history of the trade in the later seventeenth century; and the provision of title, name, and topic indexes renders this an indispensible reference tool for research into the social, political, and economic contexts of the book trade, its personnel, and its printed output.
