5.0

Rating: 5 stars!

The book is not one thing: it's a shape-shifter that adapts with alacrity to new technologies, new markets, and new consumer demands.

If you're looking for a comprehensive academic analysis of book history, complete with insightful comments and interesting arguments, then this is for you. The editors clearly did their research, making this (in my opinion) a very helpful introduction to book history as a field of scholarship. The perfect academic read for an obsessed little bookworm like me!
