A History of Cambridge University Press: Volume 2, Scholarship and Commerce, 1698-1872
ISBN: 9780521308021 / Angielski / Twarda / 1998 / 535 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This second volume of the history of Cambridge University Press deals with a period of fundamental change in printing, publishing and bookselling. The purpose of this book is not only to chronicle the history of the Press, but also to set it in this context of change: to examine how the forces of commerce collided with the hopes or demands of scholarship and education, and how, in the end, one was made to exploit the other. 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 new premises in London.

Old Books, New Technologies: The Representation, Conservation and Transformation of Books Since 1700
ISBN: 9781107470392 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 294 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. As we rely increasingly on digital resources, and libraries discard large parts of their older collections, what is our responsibility to preserve 'old books' for the future? David McKitterick's lively and wide-ranging study explores how old books have been represented and interpreted from the eighteenth century to the present day. Conservation of these texts has taken many forms, from early methods of counterfeiting, imitation and rebinding to modern practices of microfilming, digitisation and photography. Using a comprehensive range of examples, McKitterick reveals these practices and their...

ISBN: 9780521308014 / Angielski / Twarda / 1992 / 524 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This is the first volume in a new three-volume history of the University Press, which will eventually bring the story as far as modern times: the next volume (on the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries) is in preparation. The history is not only about University printers and their work--especially scholarly, schoolbook, Bible, prayer book and almanac publishing (the University Printers were England's largest suppliers of almanacs in the late seventeenth century)--but also about the rest of the seventeenth century book trade in Cambridge, London, continental Europe and North America.

Print, Manuscript and the Search for Order, 1450-1830
ISBN: 9780521618526 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This major study re-examines fundamental aspects of what has been widely labeled the printing revolution of the early modern period. David McKitterick argues that many of the changes associated with printing were only gradually absorbed over almost 400 years, a much longer period than usually suggested. He re-evaluates the modern myths and misconceptions surrounding the emergence of print and invites readers to work forward from the past, rather than backwards into it.

ISBN: 9781009200844 / Angielski / Twarda / 2022 / 446 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The mid-nineteenth century brought a revolution in popular and scholarly understandings of old and second-hand books. Manuals introduced new ideas and practices to increasing numbers of collectors, exhibitions offered opportunities previously unheard of, and scholars worked together to transform how the history of printing was understood. These dramatic changes would have profound consequences for bibliographical study and collecting, accompanied as they were by a proliferation in means of access. Many ideas arising during this time would even continue to exert their influence in the...
