Title: Book Trade in the Italian Renaissance (XVIII, 474 Pp.)
Author: Angela Nuovo
ISBN: 9789004300972
Publisher: Brill
Published: 2015
Binding: Paperback
Language: English
Edition: xviii, 474 pp.

Publisher Description: This work offers the first English-language survey of the book industry in Renaissance Italy. Where traditional accounts of the book in the Renaissance celebrate authors and literary achievement, this study examines the nuts and bolts of a rapidly expanding trade that built on existing economic practices while developing new mechanisms in response to political and religious realities. Approaching the book trade from the perspective of its publishers and booksellers, this archive-based account ranges across family ambitions and warehouse fires to publishers' petitions and convivial bookshop conversation. In the process it constructs a nuanced picture of trading networks, production, and the distribution and sale of printed books, a profitable but capricious commodity.
