Introduction
The "history of the book" is an odd-sounding phrase, seemingly too nebulous and sweeping to exert interpretive power. The essays brought together in Cultures of Print are, I hope, demonstrations to the contrary. Predicated on the assumption that the better we understand the production and consumption of books, the closer we come to a social history of culture, these essays employ a variety of strategies in giving weight to an otherwise enigmatic phrase.1 For the most part the setting is colonial America, but because the practices and representations described in these essays originated in early modern Europe, the frame of reference is recurrently transatlantic.
