Books on History of Printing

[Claire Bibio]

This topic was imported from the Typophile platform

Hello dear Typophiles. I got my hands on the 1999th edition of A Short History of the Printed Word and kind of like it, however it appears to be very pricy on Amazon. Before buying it I would like to hear your opinions. Is it worth buying or there are better books on the same topic of printing. THANKS!

Wow... that must be the most re-edited book, like, ever!
