University of Toronto Press, It is important to emphasize that Howsam's book is an orientation , not an introduction , to book history. Rather than introduce key concepts or subjects of investigation in book history, this book represents one historian's attempt to trace the development and current status of an eclectic and rapidly expanding interdisciplinary field.

Early in her career Howsam discovered that despite the significant contribution historians had made to the study of the book, book history was not recognized as a subspecialty in history programs, nor did it exist as a separate field. In the past two decades much has changed. Book history is now a recognized subspecialty in many history and English programs and exists as a stand-alone degree program at the undergraduate and graduate levels.

    • While chapter 1 serves as an introduction to Howsam's self-described "field-guide" to book history and offers a brief introduction to the study of books in literary studies, bibliography, and history, chapter 2 explores where and how these fields overlap in book history. Howsam's main point is that "different disciplines ask not only different questions, but different kinds of questions" and that where disciplines converge, the results are bound to be both contentious and enlightening By chapter 4 Howsam's own disciplinary allegiances begin to take hold.

    Whether or not the reader is a historian, this chapter shouldbe considered central reading.
