Bound in the original gray boards, stamped in shiny gold. Complete with pristine dust jacket. The review in THE ANTIQUARIAN BOOKMAN remarked that this book is "liberally cross-indexed. an invaluable reference to names and terminology of the book trade." The ANTIQUARIAN BOOK MONTHLY REVIEW stated, "Mr. Feather has a lively style. Almost all users of this book will find some material here that is unfamiliar, or of which they are pleased to be reminded. The Dictionary (has) up-to-date notes for further reading. gives information which in combination cannot be found in any other single volume." From the publisher: "This Dictionary is a handbook for all those who want or need to know about the history of books, both as physical objects and in their social context: bibliophiles, scholars, research students, librarians and booksellers. From Johann Gutenberg and the invention of moveable type to computer assisted photosetting, it will provide a source of easy reference to the people, the processes and the institutions which have formed the history of the book over the last five hundred years. Topics covered include: The history of the book trade: printing, publishing and bookselling. The physical history of the book: binding, typography, illustration and paper. Book collecting, book collectors and libraries. Bibliographical terminology, bibliographers, bibliographies and bibliographical journals, and bibliographical societies. Social and legal aspects of publishing: censorship, copyright, the net book agreement. Here are some 650 articles arranged in alphabetical order, almost all with notes on further reading. Certain central topics are treated at considerable length, for instance 'bibliography,' 'bookbinding,' 'collation,' 'illustrated books' and 'papermaking.' These provide both an introduction and an overview of their subjects and are then used as sources of reference in the shorter, more specialised entries.". First Edition. Hardcover. New/New. 8vo. (x), 278pp. Great Packaging, Fast Shipping. Seller Inventory # 017183
