The dawn of print was a major turning point in the early modern world. It rescued ancient learning from obscurity, transformed knowledge of the natural & physical world, & brought the thrill of book ownership to the masses. The author reveals that the story of the post-Gutenberg world was more complicated than we have often come to believe.
