About This Item
Chichester : Phillimore for the Worshipful Co. of Stationers & Newspaper Makers, 2001. First Edition. Hardback. Fine cloth copy in a near-fine, very slightly edge-nicked and dust-dulled dw, now mylar-sleeved. Sun fading evident on dust wrapper spine. Remains particularly and surprisingly well-preserved overall; tight, bright, clean and strong.; 8vo 8"" - 9"" tall; 265 pages; xxi, 265 p : ill., facsims., ports ; 28 cm. Summary: This important new work, written by a team of experts in their various fields, examines the history of the Company over the past two centuries, including the recent impact of new technology on a rapidly changing industry. Particular pains have been taken to produce a work that is both authoritative and readable, which will take its place alongside Cyprian Blagden's history of the Company, published in 1960. The present book amply demonstrates the Company's role as an active City livery company that exercises its subtle influence nationally. Subjects: Stationers' Company (London, England).
