This is the first full scholarly biography of his life, and gives a lively, unbiased, and accurate account of Curll's varied and distinctive publishing output. 606 $aBooksellers and bookselling$zEngland$vBiography 606 $aBooksellers and bookselling$zEngland$xHistory$y18th century 615 0$aBooksellers and bookselling 615 0$aBooksellers and bookselling$xHistory 676 $a070.5092 700 $aBaines$b Paul$f1961-$01691012 701 $aRogers$b Pat$f1938-$0168605 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910821871603321 996 $aEdmund Curll, bookseller$94121666 997 $aUNINA
