Another Good Book,
By A Customer
This review is from: An American Bible: A History of the Good Book in the United States, 1777-1880 (Hardcover)
In his first book "An American Bible", Dr. Paul Gutjahr examines the effects of the changing nineteenth century print marketplace on the "good book." With ample references, both period and contemporary, and many helpful illustrations, "Bible" tracks American Bible production from 1777 until 1880 with an eye toward material conditions (price, binding, production and distribution, use/absence of illustrations and commentary, and forms of presentation). He also considers the effect of such conditions (as well as doctrinal, philological, and apologetic controversies) on the Bible's visibility, authority and popularity in America. Highly readable and informative for readers interested in religion, literacy, or popular culture.
