What is Bibliography and the Book Trades: Studies in the Print Culture of Early New England (Material Texts) about?

Bibliography and the Book Trades Studies in the Print Culture of Early New England Hugh Amory. Edited by David D. Hall <p>"Amory's work amounts to an engaging whodunit, recounting the adventures of a bibliographic sleuth sifting through sparse clues and then deducing the historically obscured motives behind authorship, audience, and book-printing and book-selling practices in colonial New England."--<i>-Seventeenth-Century News</i></p> <p>"These dense essays . . . challenge almost every received opinion on printing, the world of books, literary scholarship, and more. Read with care, they offer us insights and methods of investigation that we ignore at our peril. Here Hugh Amory sets the highest standards of excellence."--<i>Papers of the Bibliographic Society of America</i></p> <p>Hugh Amory (1930-2001) was at once the most rigorous and the most methodologically sophisticated historian of the book in early America. Gathered here are his essays, articles, and lectures on the subject, two of them printed for the first time. An introduction by David D. Hall sets this work in context and indicates its significance; Hall has also provided headnotes for each of the essays.</p> <p>Amory u
