The Professor of the History of the Book at Balliol College at Oxford takes us through its history in 18 remarkable lives. From printers and binders to typographers and librarians, this is an extraordinary story of skill, craft, mess, cunning, triumph, improvisation, and error; of printers and binders, publishers and artists, paper-makers and library founders - including jobbing printer (and United States Founding Father) Benjamin Franklin and William Wildgoose, who meticulously bound Shakespeare’s First Folio, then disappeared- from the Fleet Street of 1492 to present-day New York.
