Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. 8vo (24 cm), XVI, 295 pp. Publisher's cloth and dust jacket (minor shelf-wear). A richly illustrated cultural history of how books were acquired, owned, and read from the sixteenth century to the present, examining the personal relationships between readers and their volumes across a wide social spectrum, from aristocratic collectors and architects to provincial readers, working men and women, and modern political figures. Willes, formerly a publisher and bookseller and editor of Anthony Hobson's Great Libraries, structures the study as a series of case-based chapters built around surviving libraries and documentary evidence, including the books of Bess of Hardwick and the Cavendish family, Samuel Pepys, three provincial libraries, Thomas Jefferson, Sir John Soane, reading and collecting in Georgian Britain, the collector Charles Winn, books for working men and women, and finally Denis and Edna Healey. Two broader thematic chapters consider attitudes to women readers and access to books among the lower orders, tracing issues of censorship, the Stationers' Company monopoly, and the financial and legal constraints affecting readership across the centuries. A handsome and engaging contribution to the social history of reading and private libraries.
