The History of the Book in South Asia covers not only the various
modern states that make up South Asia today but also a multitude of
languages and scripts. For centuries it was manuscripts that
dominated book production and circulation, and printing technology
only began to make an impact in the late eighteenth century. Print
flourished in the colonial period and in particular lithographic
printing proved particularly popular in South Asia both because it
was economical and because it enabled multi-script printing. There
are now vibrant publishing cultures in the nation states of South
Asia, and the essays in this volume cover the whole range from
palm-leaf manuscripts to contemporary print culture.
