Book Summary
This readable and informative chronicle traces the unique history of the world's
oldest press. It tells the story of the development of printing and publishing
in the University of Cambridge, from the medieval system of resident stationers
who dealt in manuscripts to the present international printing and publishing
house. The story is told in the proper context of the growth of the University,
which has inevitably determined the history of the Press itself; in the history
of the book trade as a whole; and in the intellectual and political history of
England, which at times has affected the fortunes of the Press. Amusing
anecdotes and vivid descriptions
