A. Moore (pseud.)
A. Moore, near St. Paul's: the bookseller’s name in 18th-century imprints is fictitious, and perhaps the most common name in false imprints during the first half of the century. Many of these contain woodcuts used by the printer Henry Woodfall and printer-bookseller Thomas Read (see Andrew Benjamin Bricker, "Who was 'A. Moore'? The Attribution of Eighteenth-Century Publications with False and Misleading Imprints," PBSA 110:2 (2016): 181–214 ). In their biography of Edmund Curll, Paul Baines and Pat Rogers note many of Curll's publications featuring an A. Moore imprint, discovered through examining bookseller advertisements and works where the imprints changed from Moore to Curll from one edition to another. See Edmund Curll, Bookseller (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2007).
