This book is one of the very few authorities that can be described as essential to anyone interested in the history of printed books in the era of hand printing. McKerrow evokes and analyzes the manner by which books were printed and authors' texts thereby brought before the public. Readable, practical, informative, and constantly suggestive, McKerrow has inspired generations of work since.
