[EAN: 9780300122619], Near Fine, [PU: Yale University Press, New Haven and London], Jacket, First edition, first impression with full number line. SIGNED, DATED AND INSCRIBED BY THE AUTHOR TO GERMAINE GREER, IN BLACK PEN, ON HALF TITLE PAGE 'June 10th 2007, Fenders, Ferry Road, Fingringhoe, For Germaine Greer in friendship and gratitude, James Raven'. Some minuscule edge wear to top and bottom of jacket and spine, top corners very slightly bruised, not price clipped (no published price), no other inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg++ copy. 493pp. In 1450 very few English men or women were personally familiar with a book. By 1850 the great majority of people daily encountered books, magazines, or newspapers. This book explores the history of this fundamental transformation, from the arrival of the printing press to the coming of steam. James Raven presents a lively and original account of the English book trade and the printers, booksellers, and entrepreneurs who promoted its development. Viewing print and book culture through the lens of commerce, Raven offers a new interpretation of the genesis of literature and literary commerce in England. He draws on extensive archival sources to reconstruct the successes and failures of those involved in the book trade, a cast of heroes and heroines, villains, and rogues. And, through groundbreaking investigations of neglected aspects of book trade history, Raven thoroughly revises our understanding of the massive popularization of the book and the dramatic expansion of its markets over the centuries. Exceptionally scarce signed, particularly to someone as well known as feminist writer Germaine Greer., Books<
