Description
"The study of Chinese books and book culture has long been considered a fascinating but difficult topic to research. This study demonstrates how such work can be done: counting and examining the imprints themselves, sifting through other sources such as local histories, genealogies of the printer families, and literary and anecdotal collections, which together allow a reconstruction of the social and intellectual milieu in which these publishers worked."--BOOK JACKET.
