Each chapter is richly referenced and densely informative and I can quite see that this volume will become (if it is not already) the go-to compendium for students of early printed books, of book history more generally, and of reading and reception studies and histories in medieval and early modern Britain and beyond. ENGLISH HISTORICAL REVIEW The Companion is a book about books that adds to the character and history of early print by weaving together a set of essays and notes that delight in the details and make much of the early printed resources available in the British Isles and on the Continent; its contribution to the field is theatrically embodied in the weight of the pages that dictate the force of our grip. COMITATUS Authoritative. LIBRARY A Companion to the Early Printed Book in Britain, 1476-1558 is an essential volume and deserves a place on every shelf. This is a book that no one will regret acquiring and whose insights should definitively shape future discussion of this subject. THE MEDIEVAL REVIEW Offers a useful overview of print in this period, while pointing to the high stakes of some key issues. HUNTINGDON LIBRARY QUARTERLY The editors are to be congratulated in pulling together such a significant amount of the recent academic endeavor within this fascinating field of study. SIXTEENTH CENTURY JOURNAL
