Before Google, there was Evans. Mapping a nation's paper trail. Volume VII of Charles Evans's American Bibliography covers 1786-1789, the restless years of the early Republic when presses multiplied and public argument spilled onto paper. This historical bibliography volume is a bibliographic dictionary reference for early American printed works: books, pamphlets and periodicals indexed with the identifying detail librarians, researchers and collectors rely on. It is part pamphlets and periodicals index and part working tool for discovery. It is equally rewarding for anyone curious about American printing history sources, from sermons and political tracts to schoolbooks and local announcements. Names, titles, imprints, and notes bring the texture of a reading culture into focus, and the chronological arrangement makes the United States imprints 1780s feel immediate and navigable. For students of the 1780s, it reveals what communities chose to fund, debate, preach, advertise, and teach. For collectors, it points towards scarce survivals and the network of printers and booksellers shaping taste. Long valued as a cornerstone of the early American imprints bibliography, Evans's multi-volume bibliography set remains a key companion to the Shaw Shoemaker bibliography for tracing publication, attribution, and survival across the colonial and early republic. As a librarian cataloging reference and a rare book collecting guide, it helps verify editions, locate variants, and follow printers and authors through a marketplace. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure.
