As the first published list of Ohio imprints, this volume contains a list of Ohio imprints from the onset of printing in the area now known as Ohio through 1820.
Scope of Text This volume contains a total of 590 records of items, other than newspapers and periodicals, which were printed, or which are presumed to have been printed, in Ohio before 1821.

Of the total, 38 are broadsides or broadsheets, leaving 552 which are books or pamphlets. Official publications of the territorial or state government form a large proportion of the total, comprising 123 titles in all. Materials relating to the religious interests of early Ohio account for 176 titles. The political, civic and public life of the community is the topic of 112 titles. Sixty-six of the titles explore the cultural life of early Ohio. Twenty-one titles address education. Forty-five are early Ohio almanacs. Geography, description and travel comprise 18 titles. Six titles are concerned with medicine. Biography is represented by 7 titles. There are 10 popular manuals, or handbooks, on local government and on matters commercial, industrial, legal, and military. History is the predominant subject matter of 9 titles. Twelve titles focus on farming, 7 on crafts and industries, and the remaining 5 on pure science.
