10 pages, 262 pages, 100 illustrations. Original card covers as issued. S.H. Steinberg's Five Hundred Years of Printing, in John Trevitt’s 1996 British Library revision, remains a foundational survey of Western printing from its fifteenth century origins to the modern industrial age. Steinberg's narrative is brisk, authoritative, and unusually clear, tracing how technical innovation reshaped literacy, commerce, scholarship, and the circulation of ideas. Trevitt's revision sharpens the later chapters, updating discussions of mechanisation, typefounding, and the shift from craft to mass production. The result is a dependable, wide ranging history: part technological chronicle, part cultural study, and still one of the most accessible introductions to the long evolution of the printed book.
