192349740New Orleans: Southern Pine Association 1923. 1923. TRADE CATALOG. Scarce early first edition of this nicely illustrated collection of plans. 9" x 12" unfolding to 18" x 12" 24 pp consisting of introductory text followed by 11 plans each accompanied by descriptive text and an illustration of the completed structure. Founded in 1915 the Southern Pine Association was a trade organization that engaged in extensive group marketing as well as in the development of standards and quality controls for the lumber industry. According to the website of the organization's current iteration the Southern Forest Products Association early members "initiated the practice of forest management in the South. These pioneers at first ridiculed for what was perceived as naive efforts slowly led the Southern lumber industry to renewed vigor." This publication aimed at "the amateur who wants to build his own garage" offers considerations for selecting a design layout and location for your garage full details of all necessary supplies and a handy table of automobile sizes apparently for the man who can build a garage but lacks the ability to measure his own car.

This transdisciplinary volume skilfully recovers innovations and practices in the book trade between 1688 and 1832. It investigates how print circulated information in a multitude of sizes and media through an evolving framework of transactions. The authority of print is demonstrated by studies of prospectuses blank forms periodicals pamphlets globes games and ephemera uniquely gathered in eleven essays engaging in legal economic literary and historical methodologies.
