Reviews

'Ashgate is rapidly becoming a major publisher in the field of book history... This collection of essays is as enjoyable as it is wide-ranging. The editors have done a good job in assembling this unique book... Printed matters deserves to be read - and enjoyed - widely, not least because it reminds us through some delightful case-studies, of the power of print as, primarily, a medium of urban culture.' Journal of the Printing Historical Society
