Book reviews Publish and Be Free. A catalogue of clandestine books printed in the Netherlands 1940-1945 in the British Library. Comp. by Anna E. C. Simoni. The Hague, Martinus Nijhoff in association with British Museum Publications Ltd for the British Library, London 1975, 8°, vii + 289 pp., frontispiece and 18 illus., ISBN 90 247 1764 7, Hfl 65,-. The catalogue in which the British Library brings to public notice its rich collection of books clandestinely printed in Holland during the German occupation is worthy of that collection. Dutch bibliographers are accustomed to making a distinction between the illegal press-newspapers, pamphlets and broadsides aimed directly against the occupiers- and clandestine publications, which were published by evading the regulations imposed by the German authorities. It must be said at the outset that this clandestine literature was only part of a greater whole. In the seven and a half months of occupation in 1940 alone, sixty illegal periodicals saw print. The Rijksinstituut voor Oorlogsdocumentatie [Netherlands State Institute for War Documentation] has over fifty thousand copies of Dutch underground periodicals, together representing almost twelve hundred different publications, some with a circulation limited to a single street, others reaching a nationwide readership.
