Graphs 2 and (pp. 839, 840) show how many books of 1501–60 are known to have been printed in England in each of those years by freemen of the Stationers’ Company, other London freemen, forens, provincial printers, denizens, and undenizened aliens. Had I simply accepted the information printed in the revised STC I could have made do with a list of which printers belong in which categories. But having examined over two-thirds of the books for myself I have been able to identify the printers of many hitherto unattributed items, to correct misattributions, to detect sections printed by others in books that identify only one of their plural printers, and to correct a substantial number of false or wrongly conjectured dates. I have also included more than 200 items without entries in STC. In order to document the contents of those graphs it is therefore necessary to be specific about some of the 5,023 items they represent.

This appendix contains three lists. The first records the 1,291 books and other printed items that are included in the graphs according to information that differs in one way or another from what appears in the revised STC (as emended by its own corrigenda). This list is followed by its own series of endnotes. The second is a short list of items that STC would include in the graphs but which were really printed outside the qualifying dates or have been excluded for other reasons. And the final list identifies by category all the printers represented in the graphs.
