The first section of the book, derived from the 1899 Lectures, covers the period from 1476, when Caxton set up his printing press at Westminster, to around 1500, when a series of essential changes took place in the English book-trade. The second section, derived from the 1904 lectures, covers the period from 1501 to 1535, covering the important 1534 Printing Act passed during the twenty-fifth year of Henry VIII's reign. The sections are concise but highly informative, containing analyses of the key figures in the inception of English printing, together with a number of illustrative examples. This is a fascinating text that will be of value to anyone with an interest in the history of printing.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e List of plates\u003cbr\u003e Part I. 1476–1500: Lecture I: the printers at Westminster\u003cbr\u003e Lecture II: the printers at London\u003cbr\u003e Lecture III: the stationers\u003cbr\u003e Lecture IV: the bookbinders\u003cbr\u003e Part II. 1501–1535: Lecture V: Wynkyn de Worde and the popular printers\u003cbr\u003e Lecture VI: Richard Pynson and the learned printers\u003cbr\u003e Lecture VII: the stationers of London and the foreign trade\u003cbr\u003e Lecture VIII: the stationers from Antwerp and the bookbinders\u003cbr\u003e Index.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Publishing industry \u0026amp; book trade [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Publishing industry \u0026amp; book trade\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Publishing%20industry%20\u0026amp;%20book%20trade%20%5BKNTP%5D%22\"\u003eKNTP\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46006799139096,"sku":"9780521188326","price":28.29,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9780521188326i_d726304b-b7b3-49b2-8804-d029626dcb42.jpg?v=1691373449","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-printers-stationers-and-bookbinders-of-westminster-and-london-from-1476-to-1535-paperback-9780521188326","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
