A thought provoking insight into the world of printing. Pettegree touches on subjects relating to the physicality of printed books as well as the issues printed texts brought forth between communities, particuarly the medical profession when books began printing in vernacular languages. His points add a richness to our understanding of the history of medicine and this book is not to be passed by!
