Abstract
The Book History Reader brings together a rich variety of writings examining different aspects of the history of books and print culture. Arranged in thematic sections and featuring a general introduction to the Reader as well as an introduction to each section, the editors illustrate how book history studies have evolved into a broad approach which incorporates social and cultural considerations governing the production, dissemination and reception of print and texts.
