Author's Hand and the Printer's Mind - Chartier, Roger (Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales, Paris)

This is a major new work from one of the world s leading historians of print culture and the book. Chartier shows that, in the early history of the book, the roles played by the printer and the typesetter were just as important as the role played by the author: they were often invisible but they were crucial.
