Reviews
'This important book takes critical stock of textual transmissions from print to digital and back. Using case studies such as hypertexts, newspapers, critical editions and libraries, Deegan & Sutherland elegantly and pedagogically make us aware of recurrent patterns between historical media as well as between theories about those media. Filled with reason, intelligent argumentation and sharp, even aphoristic comments, while also being clearly and accessibly formulated, this book is no less than an academic pageturner.' Mats Dahlstrom, University of Gothenburg, Sweden 'This elegant and readable book by two British arts academics draws both on the humanistic tradition and on the most recent Internet research to begin a systematic evaluation of the new media from the view point of intellectual history...much food for thought for anyone interested in the information universe.' Australian Academic & Research Libraries 'This is essential reading for anyone with an interest in print, its history, the current state of the art and its future in the age of the internet. This is a very valuable resource and is highly recommended.' Online Information Review Vol 34, no 2, 2010
