Reviews

The global view of libraries and librarianship is typical of all three volumes. So, too, is the excellent bibliography and index ... this is the most academic, with an extremely high quality of scholarship ...This book is the starting point for all research into early British library history, informative in itself and directing readers further .' Rare Books Newsletter 'Volume 1 is, in scope and detail, a thoroughly documented and illustrated account of collections of books wholly unlike what we have come to regard as a library. ... CHLB is without a doubt a major contribution to library history' The Library
