Hardcover. Zustand: As New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fine. 1st Edition. 8vo (22 cm), XIV, 208 pp. Publisher's cloth and dust jacket. A collection of essays focused on two specific areas: the men and women who earned a living in the production and distribution of books and serials; and how biographies of a widening range of individuals became one of the staples of the business of publishing. The contributors show the development of biography as a published genre from medieval accounts of saints to 17th-century collectors as national worthies, through to the present-day production of the multi-volume "Dictionary of National Biography".
