Books are more than objects; they are written by people, and produced, distributed, bought, and possibly read by people. The sixth volume in the "Print Networks" series gathers together a series of papers presented, in honour of Professor Peter Isaac, at the annual British Book Trade Seminar. They range chronologically from the first English printed texts to the transformations of "The Book of Common Prayer". Geographically, they offer perspectives on the book trades in several different towns and cities, both within the British Isles and beyond. In all instances the contributions shed "light on the book trade" and on the men and women who created and used its products.
