Description
This series of studies, by experts in the relevant fields, comprehensively and systematically examines British book production and publishing in the hundred years before the introduction of printing.
The terms 'book' and 'publishing' are usually employed in reference to the products of the printing press.
This collection of essays, however, deals with the manuscript book, its materials and make-up, the people who made, commissioned and read such books, the kinds of reading matter they wanted, and the way books catered for - and created - the reading and book-buying public.
Special attention is paid to the increasing systemization and commercialization of production.
These essays constitute a valuable work of reference for scholars and students in a wide range of disciplines.
