Examining the coffee-table book through a book history lens acknowledges their significant contribution to post-war visual culture and illustrated publishing. Focussing on post-war America, Great Britain, and Australia during the “golden age” era of the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s, this history of the coffee-table book takes an interdisciplinary approach to put the coffee-table book in context in regards to materiality, format, printing, status, and genre.New Directions in Book History,2634-6125Economics and literaturePrintingPublishers and publishingBooksHistoryLiterature, Modern20th centuryLiterature BusinessPrinting and PublishingHistory of the BookTwentieth-Century LiteratureEconomics and literature.Printing.Publishers and publishing.BooksHistory.Literature, Modern20th century.Literature Business.Printing and Publishing.History of the Book.Twentieth-Century Literature.813Elliott Christine1438388MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910760273903321The Coffee-Table Book in the Post-War Anglophone World3599642UNINA
