He illustrated more than 200 books and pamphlets, a good number of which he also wrote, as well as designing dust jackets and ephemera for a range of patrons. Brian Alderson first published a checklist of Ardizzone's work in The Private Library in 1972. Since then, with the co-operation of the artist and his family, he has expanded this work, describing in a full-scale bibliography of Ardizzone's books, dust jackets, ephemera, periodical contributions, war art, prints, posters and bookplates. There are several appendices, including an essay On the Illustration of Books by Ardizzone himself.
