WHIPPLE (1871-1953) AS A COLLECTOR OF SCIENCE BOOKS by Silvia De Renzi; 'THESE CRAFTY DEALERS' SIR HENRY WELLCOME AS A BOOK COLLECTOR by John Symons; and READING: A HEALTH WARNING by Roy Porter. Illustrations. Bibliographical references. Index. A volume from the Publishing Pathways series. From the rear cover: "The links between the book trade and the theory and practice of medicine have often been acknowledged but have seldom before been the subject of detailed investigation. Âleading scholars from different specialties provide fascinating glimpses of the interaction between science, medicine and the culture of print. Booksellers, printers, collectors, readers and the mechanisms of production and distribution across several centuries form the basis of their studies. Michael Harris reveals the medical hazards that constantly threatened the health and safety of London printers in the 19th century. Peter Isaac reveals the close connections between bookselling and the marketing of proprietary and patent medicines. Vanessa Harding uses the evidence provided by Richard Smyth's OBITUARY to reconstruct a complex network of printers and customers in plague-ridden London. Sylvia De Renzi uses the career of Robert S. Whipple, a prominent manufacturer of scientific instruments, to show how an individual collector could contribute to the emergence of the history of science as a distinct discipline in the 20th century. Lotte Hellinga uses the evidence provided by incunabula to construct chronologies of the spread of ideas as well as to track the spread of particular diseases as they swept across 15th-century Europe. Roy Porter, in a characteristically wide-ranging argument, explores the relationship of print and readers, including dire warnings from the past about the effect of reading on mental health. Finally, John Symons recounts Sir Henry Wellcome's 40-year omnivorous collecting mania, which formed the basis of the Wellcome Institute's library and underlines his immense contribution to the development of the history of medicine as a field of interest."

Reading, and the manifold signs of reading, have become one of the most dynamic areas of research in book history. The reader as consumer and owner, as well as participant in the construction of new meanings, is the subject of these original essays. Specialists in literature, art history and book history investigate the annotations, marginal marks, extra-illustration and other forms of evidence left by readers. Through an examination of the book as a physical object, the contributors provide a range of intriguing insights into the ways in which this internalized and ephemeral activity can be understood in the context of book-trade history.…

hardcover. 6 x 8.5 inches. hardcover. 240 pages. From the Frankfurt book fairs in the sixteenth century to the Farringdon Road barrows in the twentieth, fairs and markets have played a crucial role in the circulation of books. Traveling peddlers and itinerant printers have also acted as intermediaries in distributing books beyond the reach of conventional shops and in spreading trade practices. In this volume of the Publishing Pathways Series, leading book historians investigate the presence of the book trade in the streets and public spaces of Britain and continental Europe. The essays range across geographical as well as chronological frontiers to follow the movement of books, ideas and people. Contributors include John Flood, Clive Griffin, Michael Harris, Ian Maclean, John Morris, Jerome Salman and David Stoker.…

cloth, dust jacket. 6 x 9 inches. cloth, dust jacket. 180 pages. First edition. Movements of books, both as individual volumes and as collections, have sometimes covered long distances across many centuries. Subject to the vagaries of war, shipwreck and personal ruin, as well as the intervention of the book trade and of collectors, the travels of books often have an intricately detailed and compelling story to tell. One of the most active areas of current research in book history is concerned with interpreting the clues from individual copies and piecing together the documentary evidence to provide this narrative. In this volume of the Publishing Pathways series, leading specialists in book history consider examples from the sixteenth to the twentieth century to chart some of the paths followed by books through the European network of print. This may focus on the large collections accumulated by Renaissance scholars, but may equally involve tracking multiple copies of the same work through the marks of ownership left by unknown readers. Books on the Move represents an important contribution to an understanding of the shifting interactions over time between libraries, collectors and the book trade.…

hardcover, dust jacket. 6 x 9 inches. hardcover, dust jacket. 208 pages. Advertising and promotion have always underpinned the business of bookselling but are often difficult for the historian to reconstruct. Once books were being produced in multiple copies, the book trade invested time, money, and imagination in the attempt to stimulate demand, manipulate customer choice, and expand the market. The mixed uses of marketing, both as product information and as an expression of trade identity and commercial rivalries, offer a glimpse at trade practices and the circumstances of individual careers. This volume of eight original essays, with contributions by specialists in the promotion and marketing of print, as well as by leading historians of the book, explores themes that include the advertising and marketing techniques of booksellers and publishers across early modern Europe, the increasing use of newspaper and periodical advertisements in England and Ireland during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, and the dramatic impact of online marketing on the book trade. Other promotional tools discussed here range from the illustrated trade cards of eighteenth-century Paris to the rise of the book jacket and the cult of literary prizes in the twentieth century.…
