	Chapbook - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Chapbook is a generic term to cover a particular genre of pocket-sized booklet, popular from the sixteenth through to the later part of the nineteenth century.
		Chapbook can mean anything that would have formed part of the stock of chapmen, a variety of pedlar.
		The term chapbook was formalised by bibliophiles of the nineteenth century, as a variety of ephemera.

	Chapbook - LoveToKnow 1911
		At the end of the 15th century there was a large popular literature of farces, tales in verse and prose, satires, almanacs, andc., stitched together so as to contain a few leaves, and circulated by itinerant booksellers, known as colporteurs.
		Most early English chapbooks are adaptations or translations of these French originals, and were introduced into England early in the 16th century.
		The chapbooks of the 17th century present us with valuable illustrations of the manners of the time; one of the best known is that containing the story of Dick Whittington.

	Coda June/July 1983
		Edward Koren's New Yorker cartoon supplies the best definition of a chapbook, "a slender volume of poems." Although chapbooks come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and qualities, the one common denominator is the number of pages between their covers—rarely will they exceed twenty-five pages of verse.
		The irony, however, is that the publication of a chapbook may disqualify a poet from entering a competition open only to poets who have yet to publish their first book.
		Chapbooks may be doomed by an economy that does not support poetry, but on the other hand, chapbooks may flourish as they fill the vacuum caused by major presses turning their backs on poetry altogether.

	chapbook - HighBeam Encyclopedia
		CHAPBOOK [chapbook] one of the pamphlets formerly sold in Europe and America by itinerant agents, or "chapmen." Chapbooks were inexpensive—in England often costing only a penny—and, like the broadside, they were usually anonymous and undated.
		The texts were similar to those of current tabloid newspapers and therefore reveal much about the popular taste of the 16th, 17th, and 18th cent.
		The term is occasionally used to refer to old manuscripts showing national character through the use of vernacular expressions.

	The Scottish Chapbook Project -- G. Ross Roy on Chapbooks
		Since the Brash and Reid chapbooks were sold individually at a penny and gathered into volumes of twenty-four titles with a volume title page and a table of contents (in all ninety-nine were issued) the printers were obliged to keep all the titles available.
		Given that we assume 24-page chapbooks to have been single sheets which were sold without paper wrappers, it seems highly improbable that the printer would have cut the sheets, for to have done so would have obliged him to open and stitch the chapbooks.
		And since chapbook readers were quite used to uneven paper, Gaskell's further objection that in folding a 12mo 'the top edges of four of the leaves were formed by the edge of the sheet, and the deckle edges of hand-made paper were frequently uneven',

	IU Lilly Library Chapbook collection
		The Lilly Library Chapbook Collection has at its core 1,900 chapbooks from England, Scotland, Ireland, France, and the United States, which were part of the Elisabeth W. Ball collection of children's books, received by the Library in 1983 from the Ball Foundation.
		Although chapbooks in some form have existed virtually since the invention of printing, the vast majority were printed in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.
		In America similar chapbooks appeared with decorated, colored paper wrappers, and were often designated as "Albany Edition" or "Mark's Edition." Because of the poor quality of printing and coloring, and the generally insubstantial nature of such pieces they are included in this collection of chapbooks.

		These small, inexpensive paper booklets, known as chapbooks, were the main recreational reading matter for the adult poor and children of all classes in the eighteenth century.
		Chapbooks were largely responsible in this period for keeping alive and transmitting traditional fairy tales, folklore, and nursery rhymes, and they served as a welcome alternative to the moralistic and didactic pamphlets of the time.
		They also signaled the beginning of a children's literature that accommodated a child's size and interests.
