About Me

Edmund M B King
My career at the British Library was from 1975 to 2012. I was head of the BL Newspaper Collections from 1999 to 2012. My bibliography on Victorian Decorated Trade Bindings was published in 2003. A review of it is published in the Victorian web: http://www.victorianweb.org/art/design/books/king/kinsella.html All the entries in my 2003 book have been entrered into the BL bookbindings database: http://www.bl.uk/catalogues/bookbindings/KeywordSelection.aspx I have catalogued the bindings of the books in the De Beaumont collection in the British Museum (some 400 books and magazines). https://research.britishmuseum.org/research/collection_online/search.aspx Many Pinterest Boards at: . https://www.pinterest.co.uk/edmundking/
