| Publisher Description: This pioneering study of the provincial book and newspaper trade is based on the first thoroughgoing study of a regional paper and its competitors. Using new archival material and the biography of the entrepreneur, Benjamin Collins, Christine Ferdinand reveals the interdependent relationship between the writers and makers of newspapers, the principal members of the London book trade, and the new market for the printed word. |
