Books in the A History of Cambridge University Press series

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.

This volume completes the history of Cambridge University Press from the sixteenth century to the late twentieth. It examines the ways by which the Press launched itself as a London publisher in the 1870s, and shows how the Press's printing assumed a leading role in modern typographical history.

This second volume of the history of Cambridge University Press deals with a period of fundamental changes in printing, publishing, and bookselling. It opens with the new arrangements made by the University for printing in Cambridge in the 1690s, and closes on the eve of the opening of the Press's new premises in London.
