277 pages, 32 illustrations. Original card covers as issued. S.H. Steinberg's Five Hundred Years of Printing remains one of the most durable introductions to the evolution of Western printing. Steinberg moves briskly from the earliest experiments with movable type to the industrialisation of the press, showing how technical change repeatedly reshaped literacy, commerce, scholarship, and public life. His gift is clarity: complex processes become intelligible without losing historical nuance. Beatrice Warde's foreword frames the work as both a celebration of typographic craft and a reminder of printing's cultural power. An authoritative, accessible survey that explains not just how printing developed, but why its transformations mattered. Size: 14 x 22 cms. Category: Varied Books; Books on Books; New Arrivals.
