John Tebbel

APHA’s Annual Award for 1982 was presented to John Tebbel, well-known as a publishing historian by reason of his four-volume History of Book Publishing in the United States (R. R. Bowker). These four volumes, encyclopedic in their scope, were published in 1972, 1975, 1978 and 1981. They comprise a survey of the entire American publishing scene from 1639 to 1980. As part of the program. Mr. Tebbel delivered a stimulating and thought-provoking address on “Sources and the Writing of History,” recounting some of the problems that challenged him during his research and writing of his history of the publishing industry. The talk was enthusiastically received by the large number of members present. It is hoped that Mr. Tebbel’s talk can be published and made more widely available. C
