London Book Trades Database

The London Book Trades (LBT) project was built by Michael L. Turner (d. 2017) from a database designed to contain biographical information on printers, booksellers, bookbinders, stationers, and those in associated trades who worked in and around London from the introduction of printing into England until about the year 1830. The LBT had entries for something over thirty thousand individuals, about two thirds of whom had been derived from the archives of the Stationers' Company.
