Note: The following printer, bookseller, or publisher lists are works in progress. They are generated from title page imprints and may reproduce false and misleading attributions or contain errors.

What does "printed by" mean? How to read the roles ascribed to people in the imprints.

In terms of the book trades, the lists below are sorted into up to four groups where: the person is designated in the imprint as having a single role:

  1. "printed by x"; or
  2. "sold by x"; or
  3. "printed for x" or "published by x";

or as having the seller and printer roles in combination, or an absence of the printer's name following "London: printed:" or "London: printed,":

  1. "printed and sold by x"; or "printed for and sold by x"; or "printed by and for x"; or "printed: and sold by x"; or "printed, and sold by x";  and so on.

On this last point, trade publishers may seem to have "printed" or "published" the work, though they did not own the copyright. The lists below reflect only the information on the imprint, except where ESTC provides extra information.

Printed for r, Iohn

  • H., C.. A pleasant discourse between conscience and plain-dealing. Discovering their travels and hard fortunes since these late times began, and what hard shifts they have been put to, for want of entertainment. With their resolution once more to try their fortunes, and to discover in their travels, all that are enemies to conscience and plain-dealing, and to give notice to all honest men in all cities and towns, to beware of their hypocritical double-dealing in their tradings. Then listen all people now, for we are fully bent, to tell knaves their own, and give honest men content. Written by C.H. a well-wisher to conscience and plain-dealing, and all thoset hat [sic] will entertain them but him that wishes ill to thee or me, pray pass along, A K I C V B. London: Printed for, Iohn Wright, Iohn Clarke, William Thackeray, and Thomas Passinger, [between 1681 and 1684]. ESTC No. R177765. Grub Street ID 69755.
