Selling Books from the Dawn of Print to the Twenty-First Century: Interview with Professor Andrew Pettegree

The history of the book is a fascinating topic, and Professor Andrew Pettegree has taught us all more about the business of print and how books actually circulated than anyone else. His new release, The Bookshop: A History of Bookselling from the Dawn of Print to the Twenty-First Century focuses on the enigmatic booksellers who actually got the books from printers to readers, and why that step can't be taken for granted.
