Bibliography of the Manual Arts by Arthur Henry Chamberlain, 1902
 

'Bibliography of the Manual Arts' by Arthur Henry Chamberlain was published by A Flanagan Company in Chicago and New york in 1902. Inter alia it contains a section specifically relating to 'Paper and Cardboard'. The majority of the entries are for works published in English but it also contains sections for works published in other languages (but not, somewhat strangely, in Dutch or Spanish). There are also substantial sections listing articles published in journals.
