Heilbronner, Walter L. - Printing and the Book in Fifteenth-Century England: A Bibliographical Survey
Charlottesville, Virginia, Published for the Bibliographical Society of the University of Virginia, the University Press of Virginia, 1967. First Edition. Hardcover. Size: 8vo 8" - 9" tall. A fine survey of the book trade prior to and between the invention of printing to 1500. Printing came relatively late to England. In 1485, Peter Actors was appointed King's Stationer, but no King's Printer was named, and thus book trading grew very slowly, being dominated by French and Germans. Only in 1554, when the English Parliament limited the rights of foreigners engaged in the book trade, and only when England tried to restrict the importation of foreign books as well, did the book trade take off in England. Sturdy, attractive, tightly bound in hardcover format, bright red cloth over boards, gilt lettering over front board and spine, generally clean, lightly toned edges of endpapers, minimal rubbing to extremities. xiv [2], 4-105 pp.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. . . .
