"Hugh Amory writes broadly about the social and economic history of printing, bookselling, and book ownership. At the heart of his work is a determination to connect the materialities of printed books with the workings of the book trades and, in turn, with how printed books were put to use. This is a collection of great methodological importance for anyone working in literature and history who wants to make those same connections."--BOOK JACKET.
