Recenzii
Stylish, authoritative and full of telling anecdotes. Andrew Pettegree is the ideal guide through half a millennium of selling books
An absorbing and thorough history of the book trade whose shaky livelihoods have, for nearly 600 years, been at the mercy of the fickle vagaries of changing winds ... Scholarly and engaging
At last, a history of the bookshop which paints the big picture. Every chapter of Pettegree's kaleidoscopic account has enough stories, characters and statistics to satisfy even the most curious bibliomaniac
A unique and fascinating chronicle of the origins of bookselling and the development of the bookstores we know and love today. The Bookshop is an important contribution to the canon of literary history
In a thoroughly engaging and deeply researched narrative, he traces the sale of books by printers, pedlars and priests, from stalls in St. Paul's Churchyard to gilded department stores, from train stations to chain stores and ultimately Amazon. Pettegree chronicles the resilience of the trade in the face of censorship, banishment, and bankruptcy. This is the arresting and ultimately optimistic story of the making and marketing of print culture. Here is a book for every booklover to buy
Andrew Pettegree's new book provides a lively account of what's both recognizable and strange about the way books found their way to owners and readers at other times and places. The results will make you think differently about the path through which this book reached your hands
In this wide-ranging work, Andrew Pettegree, an outstanding historian of the printed word, traces all the ways that books reached readers, from peddlers' packs to the internet. His masterful survey brings together information on the book trade in many countries since the time of Gutenberg. The Bookshop will delight anyone who has shopped for books
PRAISE FOR THE LIBRARY:'Outstanding ... fetchingly produced and scrupulously researched - a perfect gift for bibliophiles everywhere
In this superb history, the authors tell the rich and varied history of libraries, from those that aspire to collect the sum of human knowledge to modest but valued personal collections
PRAISE FOR THE BOOK AT WAR:'Rich, authoritative, and highly readable ... [a] tour de force'
