Excellent treatis on the history of bookmaking,
This review is from: Five Hundred Years of Printing (Paperback)
Steinberg's contribution to the literature of bookmaking should not be overlooked. While scholarly in content, it does not presuppose any special knowledge of the reader. It is an introduction to the history of books. It is both informative and accessible. I am not an academic, I am a bookseller with an interest in my trade.
If this is too dry for you there are other works worth reading, such as McMurtrie's THE BOOK.[aka: THE GOLDEN BOOK]The golden book;: The story of fine books and bookmaking, past & present

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Five Hundred Years of Printing (Paperback)
The seller was great and I had no issues with them. The book itself is apparently a defective edition. I checked with others and all the images are missing starting after page 202. Not good.
