A general assumption is that the pedlar travelling from town to countryside was strongly distinct from the role of the established booksellers in the towns, selling books to the educated and affluent buyer. The commercial position of the urban pedlars, however, is very often underestimated. In this book, therefore, the itinerant book trade is studied in an English and Dutch, urban context, leading to a new perspective on the role of the pedlars as an intermediary between the established booksellers and an extensive, socially diverse reading public.Library of the written word ;29.Library of the written word.Handpress world ;21.Book industries and tradeSocial aspectsEnglandBook industries and tradeSocial aspectsNetherlandsBook industries and tradeEnglandHistory17th centuryBook industries and tradeEnglandHistory18th centuryBook industries and tradeNetherlandsHistory17th centuryBook industries and tradeNetherlandsHistory18th centuryPeddlingEnglandHistory17th centuryPeddlingEnglandHistory18th centuryPeddlingNetherlandsHistory17th centuryPeddlingNetherlandsHistory18th centuryBook industries and tradeSocial aspectsBook industries and tradeSocial aspectsBook industries and tradeHistoryBook industries and tradeHistoryBook industries and tradeHistoryBook industries and tradeHistoryPeddlingHistoryPeddlingHistoryPeddlingHistoryPeddlingHistory381.450020942381/.450020942Salman Jeroen1644018MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910824956103321Pedlars and the popular press4012184UNINA
