This series on the history of the book in the East focuses
attention on three areas of the world which for a long time have
been undeservedly left on the margins of the global history of the
book: the Middle East, South Asia and East Asia. The importance of
these three regions of the world lies not only in the sheer
antiquity of printing in East Asia, where both movable type and
wood blocks were used centuries before Gutenberg's invention
changed the face of book production in Europe, but also in the
manuscript traditions and very different responses to printing
technology in the Middle East and South Asia. This series forms an
important counterbalance to the Eurocentrism of the history of the
book as practised in the West. The three volumes are edited by
renowned experts in the field and each includes an introduction
which provides an overview of research in the field. This series
offers a significant benefit to students, lecturers and libraries
as it brings together leading articles in the field from disparate
journals which are often difficult to locate and of limited access.
Students are thus able to study leading articles side by side for
comparison whilst lecturers are provided with an invaluable
'one-stop' teaching resource. The three volumes in this series are:
The History of the Book in East Asia The History of the Book in
South Asia The History of the Book in the Middle East
