Introductory Note

After mentioning the September 2004 roll-out of a major
upgrade of the British Library’s online catalogue in the original
2008 form of this page, I made some complaints about its shortcomings, and in particular its apparent inability to extract agroup of records selected by pressmark. This problem has now
either been rectified or else my criticisms were unfounded andI simply didn’t know how to do it.
The procedure is actually very simple. If ‘fishing’ for a bookby pressmark, simply type it in without any punctuation. So, if
there’s a need to find out whether ‘P.C.13.b.3’ represents abook, all that’s required is to type in ‘PC13b2’ – without thesingle quotation marks of course. ‘P.C.13.b.3’ represents the 3rdbook on the second shelf [‘b’] in the 13th bookcase or ‘case’.
To find out everything on the same shelf, the asterisk wild carddoes the trick and the form ‘PC13a*’ should be employed.
The following list represents a revision of the 2008 page, andincludes an additional dozen or so new titles. None of the entries appeared in my 1981 catalogue of the Private Case.
