“Peake
in Print”
In
the early 1980s, I compiled a bibliography of Mervyn Peake’s work,
in collaboration with the late Dee Berkeley, which we called “Peake in Print”
– PiP for short. It was published by instalments in The Mervyn Peake Review.
PiP is now commonly
used by booksellers and collectors to identify the various editions and issues
of Peake’s work; thus “B2a” (for example) refers to the first edition
(hence the “a”) of The Hunting of the Snark, the second book
that Peake illustrated (hence B2). Remember
that this bibliography is copyright.
This means that you may quote from it, but you must obtain my permission to make long quotations and before making any commercial use of it. Please acknowledge this source whenever you quote from it (in a booklist, catalogue, article, dissertation, etc.); PiP represents more than thirty-five years of research.
