The ten chapters of this exemplary monograph cover every major
aspect of the book in traditional Japan: its place in Japanese
history; books as material objects; manuscript cultures; printing;
the Edo period book trade; authors and readers; importation and
exportation; censorship; libraries and collectors; and
bibliographic catalogues.... A handsome and beautifully organized
handbook that is sure to inform and stimulate research for many
years to come.
