Reviews

""" Reading by Design explores the printed book's unstable visual interfaces as a way of charting early modern theories about perception and knowledge. The broad range of material covered, including almanacs, emblem books, maps, and woodcuts, is to be applauded, and the effort made to connect more obviously 'literary' forms to their non-literary counterparts is one of this book's major strengths."" --Abigail Shinn, Department of English and Comparative Literature, Goldsmiths, University of London"
