After printing with movable type was invented in Central Europe about the middle of the Fifteenth century, the craft began to spread over the world almost at once, though it arrived in some areas much earlier than in others. This series of eleven booklets aims to give a concise history of early printing in all parts of the world outside Continental Europe and Great Britain. Each monograph is written by a specialist on the subject, covers one specific area, and is fully illustrated. Authors and topics are as follows: B.S. BENEDIKZ, Iceland; A. TOUSSAINT, Early Printing in Mauritius, Réunion, Madagascar and the Seychelles; F. MACMILLAN, New Zealand; D.E. RHODES, India, Burma and Ceylon; K. OLDENDOW, Greenland; D.H. BORCHARDT, Australia; C. CLAIR, Malta; H.J. de GRAAF, Indonesia; B.F. SWAN, The Caribbean Area; A.H. SMITH, South Africa; and H. PEARSON GUNDY, Canada.
