Books for Barbados and the British Atlantic Colonies in the Early Eighteenth Century: 'A Catalogue of Books to Be Sold by Mr. Zouch'.

The extensive and wide-ranging retail catalogue that is the subject of this study was printed in London for a bookseller in Barbados and has hitherto escaped extended notice. The primary focus is on recently printed works shipped to Barbados, but there were far too many books in this catalogue just for that small island, rich though it was. When Barbados is considered the first port of call before Jamaica and the east coast of North America, the story takes on new dimensionsboth geographical and in the world of missionary endeavor.
