Beschreibung

Tracing a mid-nineteenth-century revolution in understandings of old and second-hand books, David McKitterick reveals a transformation in values that underpins bibliography, access and collecting today. This study illuminates how exhibitions, libraries, booksellers, scholars and popular writers all contributed to the modern world of book studies.
