First edition. The industrialization of papermaking has obscured the traditional ways through which handmade
paper is produced. However, Off the Decle Edge reminds us of the longstanding history of papermaking along with
the visual and sensual qualities handmade paper possesses. Premchand marries seven bound-in full-page paper
specimens with 107 colorful and exotic photographs in a modernly produced book with beautiful accounts of the
people and culture of India. Also contains a bibliography, a glossary and a touching dedication to Khaddari who
encouraged Premchand to produce this book but passed away soon after their meeting. [Order No. 43946]

jacket. 248 pages with 40 b/w illustrations. ISBN 9781584561712. $45.00 $33.75
Part of the Publishing Pathways Series. Reading, and the manifold signs of reading, have become one of the most
dynamic areas of research in book history. The reader as consumer and owner, as well as participant in the
construction of new meanings, is the subject of these original essays. Specialists in literature, art history and book
history investigate the annotations, marginal marks, extra-illustration and other forms of evidence left by readers.
Through an examination of the book as a physical object, the contributors provide a range of intriguing insights
into the ways in which this internalized and ephemeral activity can be understood in the context of book-trade
history. [Order No. 89478]
