This 1912 history of bookmaking surveys the publishing trade from its beginnings, covering block-books, the invention and development of printing, early illustrated books, printing in England, woodcut and engraved illustrations, modern fine printing, and collecting. Pollard argues that modern books are not fine books, and are “handicapped” by their method of production.
