This book is a milestone in the history of the book for it makes the first attempt to map the field like no other book before it." (Script and Print)

It also devotes attention to regimes of regulation and jurisdiction - censorship, intellectual property, and the like - and to systems of storage and taxonomy: libraries and bibliography."
