“The first to appear of a projected seven-volume Cambridge History of the Book in Britain, VolumeIII firmliy grounds the entire project in the pivotal age of transition from the manuscript to the printed book, and in doing so provides its own milestone in the relatively recent but now thriving historical subdiscipline of book history.”
— Albion
“a landmark contribution to our understanding of late-medieval and early-modern British cultural, intellectual, and social history. It is a tremendous achievement and is highly recommended.”
— Speculum
“The individual essays are admirable in their ability to cover their subjects in general and to demonstrate and elaborate in specific examples…The introduction to this volume is also well worth reading and re-reading. It is a masterful account of what the editors describe as ‘continuity in change’ and is a survey against which all the other essays in the volume are meant to be, and should be, read.”
