Historians, librarians, and humanities scholars presented 18 essays at the 17th Seminar on the British Book Trade, Aberystwyth, herein gathered together to provide a wider readership with information on British printing history and practices. Richard Suggett and Maureen Bell explore how authorities have tried to control printed matter, Stacy Gee delves into the earliest days of English printing in York, John Turner discusses the pitfalls of using on-line catalogs for quantitative bibliographies, and Brenda Scragg reports on the cultivation of Edinburgh cultural society by the Manchester bookseller, William Ford.
