Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
The emergence of the book was not merely an event of world
historical importance, but the dawn of modernity. In this much
praised work, Lucien Febvre and Henri-Jean Martin mesh together
economic and technological history, sociology and anthropology,
with the study of consciousness itself to root the development of
printing in the changing social relations and ideological struggles
of Western Europe. Now that the printed page may become a thing of
the past, "The Coming of the Book" is more pertinent than ever.
The Verso World History Series This series provides attractive new
editions of classic works of history, making landmark texts
available to a new generation of readers. Covering a time-span
stretching from Ancient Greece and Rome to the twentieth century,
and with a global geographical range, the series will also include
thematic volumes providing insights into such topics as the spread
of print cultures and the history of money.
