"A descriptive bibliography of books, pamphlets, and broadsides and other ephemera issued during the first 100 years of printing in New Orleans. Organized by years, the entries are arranged in a clear and easy-to-read format and provide information that was previously unavailable in a compiled form. The search for New Orleans imprints included 85 librairies and historical societies, resulting in over 3,300 entries. The introduction, a history of printing in the city, discusses subject content in New Orleans publications, the rise of English-language printing, and the evolution of official printing" --Amazon.
