St. Paul's Bibliographies

St. Paul's Bibliographies was a publishing company founded by Robert S. Cross (1925-2011) in 1979 in Winchester, England that specialized in bibliographical works and book history more generally. In the 1980s, the firm co-published in the US with Omnigraphics of Detroit. In 1992 the firm began co-publishing with Oak Knoll Press, and in 1993 Oak Knoll took over US distribution.^[1] In 1997 St. Paul's Bibliographies was purchased by Oak Knoll Press who continued many of its series under its own publishing imprint.^[2] Oak Knoll continued to issue publications under the St. Paul's Bibliographies imprint until 2015.

St. Paul's Bibliographies published a wide variety of books, many of their publications were issued in the context of several series including the Winchester Bibliographies of Twentieth-Century Writers, the Publishing Pathways Series, and the Print Network Series.
