Research Interests: My academic interests are history of the book, bibliography, and textual criticism—especially the history of publishing and the book trade in the industrial United States and analytical bibliography of 19th-c. American writers. My recent work has been focused on editing and completing the volume on the American book in the industrial era for the History of the Book in America series which will appear from the University of North Carolina Press in June 2007. I am currently working on a book project on American literary book production, publication, and distribution during the 19th century, tentatively entitled “Producing American Literature.”

Recent Publications: The Industrial Book, 1840-1880, A History of the Book in America, vol. 3 (forthcoming June 2007). Co-edited with Scott Casper, Jeff Groves, and Steven Nissenbaum.
