HTML:<b>The five-hundred-year history of printed books, told through the people who created them</b><br /> Books tell all kinds of stories—romances, tragedies, comedies—but if we learn to read the signs correctly, they can tell us the story of their own making too. <i>The Book-Makers</i> offers a new way into the story of Western culture's most important object, the book, through dynamic portraits of eighteen individuals who helped to define it.<br /> <br /> Books have transformed humankind by enabling authors to create, document, and entertain. Yet we know little about the individuals who brought these fascinating objects into existence and of those who first experimented in the art of printing, design, and binding. Who were the renegade book-makers who changed the course of history?<br /> <br /> From Wynkyn de Worde's printing of fifteenth-century bestsellers to Nancy Cunard's avant-garde pamphlets produced on her small press in Normandy, this is a celebration of the book with the people put back in.
