Description



Book Synopsis



This book tells the history of the Industrial Revolution through the lens of publishing.

In Second Printing Revolution, Jeremy Norman traces the transition in book production technology from handcrafts to mass media with some of the earliest examples of publications employing each new process. From the mechanization of papermaking, printing, and illustration to typesetting and bookbinding, the book examines a quantum leap in the dissemination of knowledge comparable to the time of Gutenberg.
