The Work of Print: Authorship and the English Text Trades, 1660-1760

Maruca (English, Wayne State U., Michigan) looks at texts about the print trade written by workers in it, whether they contributed to the production of the physical product, provided the literary content for it, or sold it at a shop or stall. Her topics include printers' manuals and the bodies of type, the regulated trace, and invisible print in a digital age. Annotation 穢2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
