About this Item

Title

  • History of the Book in America

Summary

  • A celebratory discussion from the American Antiquarian Society to mark the completion of the series, from "The Colonial Book in the Atlantic World" to "Print Culture in Postwar America", published in collaboration with the University of North Carolina Press and with support from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Center for the Book at the Library of Congress. Through these publications and the AAS Program in the History of the Book, the Society is acknowledged as a leader in the emerging international field of book history.
