About This Item
1873 1ed History of Booksellers Longman Cadell Colburn Moxon Milton Paradise
'A History of Booksellers' is a rare, late 19th-century book of biographical sketches of the most iconic and important booksellers and publishers including:
· The Longmans
· Cadell
· John Murray
· Henry Colburn
· Edward Moxon
However, the first chapter of this book is perhaps the most important. This chapter covers some of the earliest books, handwritten manuscripts in monasteries and institutions, and details on the earliest editions of the most famous pieces of literature such as Milton's 'Paradise Lost'.
