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. 410 0$aNew Directions in Book History,$x2634-6125 606 $aEconomics and literature 606 $aPrinting 606 $aPublishers and publishing 606 $aBooks$xHistory 606 $aLiterature, Modern$x20th century 606 $aLiterature Business 606 $aPrinting and Publishing 606 $aHistory of the Book 606 $aTwentieth-Century Literature 615 0$aEconomics and literature. 615 0$aPrinting. 615 0$aPublishers and publishing. 615 0$aBooks$xHistory. 615 0$aLiterature, Modern$x20th century. 615 14$aLiterature Business. 615 24$aPrinting and Publishing. 615 24$aHistory of the Book. 615 24$aTwentieth-Century Literature. 676 $a813 700 $aElliott$b Christine$01438388 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910760273903321 996 $aThe Coffee-Table Book in the Post-War Anglophone World$93599642 997 $aUNINA
