Recenzje

'It would be extremely beneficial for those associated with FE or HE institutions, as it could also be read by students, early career researchers, and faculty in many departments. While the main narrative is a history of European encyclopaedias, it will also be of interest to colleagues working on business and economic history, information studies, world literature and print and visual culture.' Rose Roberto, Publishing History
