Synopsis
The printed book became the first successful mechanically mass-produced, marketable product. In the 50 years following the creation of the Gutenberg Bible, a major new industry became established, with huge implications for culture, religion, and politics. A unifying concern of most of the papers in this stimulating and well-illustrated volume is the complex relationship between producers – be they authors, printers, or decorators – the economic conditions of book distribution, and the requirements of readers and other users of books.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. First edition, first print. Hardcover with dust jackets. Octavo (25cm x 18cm), pp. x, 291. Original red boards, titles to spine gilt. Presented in original pictorial dust jacket. Numerous photographic illustrations. Condition: FINE. New and immaculate. Scarce. Notes: "The contributions to this volume address important issues about books and their users in the 15th century. A unifying theme is the complex relationships between producers - be they authors, printers or decorators - the economic conditions of book distribution, and the requirements of readers or other users of books. Two contributions focus on technical aspects of the production of books, essential for our understanding of how texts met their readers. Such engaged and informed openness towards other disciplines is necessary for students of books to understand why the European invention of printing was successful - of why books became the first successful mechanically mass-produced marketable product" (Jensen).
