The Oxford Illustrated History of the Book von James Raven
Note: I accessed a digital review copy of this book through Edelweiss.
This is not a history of the book but a history of the book’s historiography. This is an academic text not written in a style for a general audience. However, book lovers—academics and laymen alike—may find this volume of interest. Scholars may find intriguing questions about the book’s history needing more extensive research. General readers may have their curiosity aroused about specific aspects of book history. Raven touches on a wide array of subjects that constitute book history—printing, design, distribution, bibliography, economics, copyright, censorship, circulation, libraries, reading, and much more. This book is a good starting point for anyone who wants to become informed about the discipline of book history.… (mehr)
