Volume 3 of A History of the Book in America narrates the emergence
of a national book trade in the nineteenth century, as changes in
manufacturing, distribution, and publishing conditioned, and were
conditioned by, the evolving practices of authors and readers.
Chapters trace the ascent of the ""industrial book""--a
manufactured product arising from the gradual adoption of new
printing, binding, and illustration technologies and encompassing
the profusion of nineteenth-century printed materials--which relied
on nationwide networks of financing, transportation, and
communication. In tandem with increasing educational opportunities
and rising literacy rates, the industrial book encouraged new sites
of reading; gave voice to diverse communities of interest through
periodicals, broadsides, pamphlets, and other printed forms; and
played a vital role in the development of American culture.
