Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. 2nd Edition. Here is "English Books & Readers 1475 to 1557 : Being a Study in the History of the Book Trade from Caxton to the Incorporation of the Stationers' Company" by H. S. Bennett. Early Publishers and Printers. Second Edition, published in 1969 by Cambridge University Press, hardcover format. From the jacket write-up : "H. S. Bennett was Fellow of the British Academy and formerly Reader in English at the University of Cambridge. This book covers in detail the topics of his lectures. He writes the history of books from Caxton down to the incorporation of the Stationer's Company, discussing the evidence for public literacy, the regulation of the book trade, the demand for books, the authors, translators, and printers of early books, and their methods. It is a history of society at the opening of the Age of Printing, without which civilization as we know it could hardly have taken shape at all - a chapter in the human story, unique in its significance, and hitherto remarkably obscure. This new edition has given Mr. Bennett the opportunity of correcting errors in the transcriptions and references, and of using information from his more recent researches."
