National Art Library chapbooks collection
Chapbooks are small cheap publications on popular subjects bought at booksellers or from travelling chapmen. The National Art Library chapbook collection comprises around 800 chapbooks, ranging from the late-18th-century crudely printed chapbooks of Bow Church Yard and Aldermary Church Yard, London, to the simple but rather well-printed and illustrated examples by James Kendrew of York.

Until the mid 1980s, the National Art Library's coverage of comics and comic art was uneven and spasmodic, but the Library's holdings have been significantly enhanced by the acquisition of a number of major collections in recent years.
