In the history of the United States, books and other printed materials were
the most prevalent and articulate cultural artifacts. This compact,
clearly written handbook provides an insightful and historical overview to
the literature and subject of book history by revealing the production,
dissemination, and finally, the consumption or reading of books in the
United States. Various methodologies are presented so that the reader may
weigh, compare, and contrast the various approaches to book history.
This work will convey the range and richness available to people wanting to
become involved with book history at all levels of expertise.
Ronald J. Zboray is associate professor of history at Georgia State
University, and Mary Saracino Zboray is a research associate at the same
institution. Together they have published extensively on antebellum
cultural history, including recent articles in many scholarly journals.
This book is published by the Library of Congress and sponsored by the
Library's Center for the Book, a private-public partnership with Congress.
This publication is the Center's second resource publication about book
history.
