After printing with movable type was invented in Central Europe about the middle of the Fifteenth century, the
craft began to spread over the world almost at once, though it arrived in some areas much earlier than in others.
This series of eleven booklets aims to give a concise history of early printing in all parts of the world outside
Continental Europe and Great Britain. Each monograph is written by a specialist on the subject, covers one specific
area, and is fully illustrated. Sales rights: Available outside North America from HES & DE GRAAF Publishers.
