The years 1830 1914 witnessed a revolution in the manufacture and
use of books as great as that in the fifteenth century. Using new
technology in printing, paper-making and binding, publishers worked
with authors and illustrators to meet ever-growing and more varied
demands from a population seeking books at all price levels. The
essays by leading book historians in this volume show how books
became cheap, how publishers used the magazine and newspaper
markets to extend their influence, and how book ownership became
universal for the first time. The fullest account ever published of
the nineteenth-century revolution in printing, publishing and
bookselling, this volume brings the Cambridge History of the Book
in Britain up to a point when the world of books took on a
recognisably modern form. "
