Published in 1964 and 1966 and incorporating the earlier Origins of
the English Library (1954), these 2 volumes were written by an
authority on libraries from across the world, and the first
director after World War 2 of the School of Librarianship at
University College London, Raymond Irwin. Together they give an
unparalleled insight into the development of libraries from
classical civilization and the part they have played in the
development of culture up to the late 20th Century. Studied from a
new angle, and written in an engaging style, these volumes are far
from dry and of interest to both bibliophiles and social historians
alike.
