The mid-nineteenth century brought a revolution in popular and
scholarly understandings of old and second-hand books. Manuals
introduced new ideas and practices to increasing numbers of
collectors, exhibitions offered opportunities previously unheard
of, and scholars worked together to transform how the history of
printing was understood. These dramatic changes would have profound
consequences for bibliographical study and collecting, accompanied
as they were by a proliferation in means of access. Many ideas
arising during this time would even continue to exert their
influence in the digitised arena of today. This book traces this
revolution to its roots in commercial and personal ties between key
players in England, France and beyond, illuminating how
exhibitions, libraries, booksellers, scholars and popular writers
all contributed to the modern world of book studies. For students
and researchers, it offers an invaluable means of orientation in a
field now once again undergoing deep and wide-ranging
transformations.
