The Bookshop of the World: Making and Trading Books in the Dutch Golden Age

by Andrew Pettegree and Arthur der Weduwen

Book Overview

This account uncovers for the first time a largely overlooked marvel of the Dutch Golden Age: books. Andrew Pettegree and Arthur der Weduwen show how the Dutch reshaped the seventeenth-century book world and, in the process, bought and owned more books per capita than any other people in Europe.
