Books by David (Trinity College McKitterick

This is the first of three volumes concerning the history of the oldest press in the world,a history that extends from the sixteenth century to the present day.

Now available in paperback, this magisterial study re-examines fundamental aspects of what has been widely termed the printing revolution of the early modern period, and argues that many of the changes associated with printing were only gradually absorbed over almost 400 years, a much longer period than usually suggested.
