David McKitterick's lively and wide-ranging study explores how old books have been represented and interpreted from the eighteenth century to the present day. Conservation of these texts has taken many forms, from early methods of counterfeiting, imitation and rebinding to modern practices of microfilming, digitisation and photography. Using a comprehensive range of examples, McKitterick reveals these practices and their effects to address wider questions surrounding the value of printed books, both in terms of their content and their status as historical objects. Creating a link between historical approaches and the emerging technologies of the future, this book furthers our understanding of old books and their significance in a world of emerging digital technology. 606 $aBooks$xConservation and restoration$xHistory 606 $aBook industries and trade$xTechnological innovations 606 $aPublishers and publishing$xTechnological innovations 606 $aBook industries and trade$xHistory 606 $aPublishers and publishing$xHistory 615 0$aBooks$xConservation and restoration$xHistory. 615 0$aBook industries and trade$xTechnological innovations. 615 0$aPublishers and publishing$xTechnological innovations. 615 0$aBook industries and trade$xHistory. 615 0$aPublishers and publishing$xHistory. 676 $a070.5 686 $aLAN027000$2bisacsh 700 $aMcKitterick$b David$0573771 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910809074303321 996 $aOld books, new technologies$94032623 997 $aUNINA
