Reviews
. ..enjoy this intelligent, proactive book for yourself. -Springer Publishing Res. Quarterly . ..this book is well worth reading and forms a valuable counterweight to much of the rapid tepid, conformist LIS literature. -Library Review Summarises effectively the intellectual development made possible by printing, and, in a useful comparison, shows how digital technology is causing a similar contemporary rupture both to the established printing industry, and to the world at large. -The Electronic Library I have rarely seen a work that weaves together history and modernity into such a coherent fabric, seamlessly moving through times and changing phenomena, finding historical parallels where one would not suspect them. ...I intend to recommend reading this book not only to all who are participating in the world of books... but also to the general public, especially book lovers and activists. -Information Research
