This classic work, first published as a Pelican Original in 1955 and maintained in successive editions until 1980 is now available in a finely illustrated larger format book, drawing on the collections and curatorial expertise of The British Library. It has been completely revised and brought up to date, covering topics such as censorship, best-sellers, the invention of lithography and the connection between printing and education. It is of particular use to anyone studying the huge technological changes that the printing industry has experienced during its long timespan.
