The 18 papers of this volume were first presented at a conference on the book trade, mainly of the UK, held in 2001 at Oxford U. Topics include avenues for researching the provincial book trade, the marketing techniques applied to incunabulae sammelbande, the diary of Edmund Harrold of Manchester, printed versions of the Book of Common Prayer, books in 18th-century Whitehaven, the career of Septimus Prowett, and typography in 19th-century children's readers. A memoir of Isaac, who died in 2002, and list of his writings are included. The contributors are librarians, booksellers, and academics in the UK.
