Note:Discusses the literary book trade in Britain, beginning with the introduction of the handpress and ending within a century of the revolution that widespread mechanization would bring to book production. This development occurred during a time of religious, political and social upheaval, including the Reformation of the sixteenth century, and the struggles between the Crown and Parliament leading to the Civil War of the 1640s and the Glorious Revolution of the 1680s.
