Joseph A. Dane discusses his book, What Is a Book?: The Study of Early Printed Books, Published by the University of Notre Dame Press in 2012.
“Joseph A. Dane is one of our most brilliant and prolific scholars of the early book, and this volume
culminates a lifetime of research. For the general reader, it will
offer a compelling survey of book history and book making. For the
specialist, it will offer insights into the techniques of printers and
the lives of collectors. For anyone concerned with how we read the past,
and for anyone fascinated by the book as typographical artifact, What
Is a Book? will be deeply valued." -- Seth Lehrer, UCSD.
