5.0 out of 5 stars
Enthusiastically recommended for bibliophile reading lists,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Potencie of Life: Books in Society : The Clark Lectures 1986-1987 (British Library Studies in the History of the Book) (Hardcover)
Ably edited by Nicholas Barker, A Potencie Of Life: Books In Society is a welcome and impressive collection of erudite and knowledgeable essays by leading biblio-scholars on the history of the book. The contributions comprising this unique outstanding compendium include: American Papermakers and the Panic of 1819 (John Bidwell); Bookbinding and the History of Books (Mirjam M. Foot); A New Model for the Study of the Book (Thomas R. Adams & Nicolas Barker); The Codex in the Fifteenth Century: A Manuscript and Print (Lotte Hellinga); The "Trade of Authorship" in Eighteenth Century Britain (W.b. Carnochan); and Libraries and the mind of Man (Nicolas Barker). An excellent reprint of the first edition and co-published with The British Library, this Oak Knoll Press edition of A Potencie Of Life is enthusiastically recommended for bibliophile reading lists and academic reference collections.
