Caxton: An American Contribution to the Quincentenary Celebration
£15.00
TYPOPHILE CHAP BOOK 52 gathers essays in tribute on the occasion of the Caxton quincentenary celebration. Susan Thompson, Joseph Blumenthal, Joseph Dunlap, James Lawton, and Richard Griffith explore the biography and bibliography of England's first printer, bringing new light to the study of his obscure early years and reflecting on the nature of his work and its influence. A pocket book for the traveling Typophiles on their 1976 journey to the European printing museum centers, and an American contribution to the London Caxton International Congress as a gift to its members, Chap Book 52 joins the festivities marking the five-hundredth anniversary of the introduction of printing into Great Britain.
