Description

This annual reflects a range of work on serial publication, addressed chronologically, geographically, and theoretically. It spans the period from 1700 through to the 1970s and demonstrates how serial publication followed the expansion of international trade and bound together the different cultural elements comprising the global economic network.

Reviews

The somewhat eclectic bibliography of recently published work in the field should also prove useful, especially as it includes many European titles which can otherwise be difficult to locate in North American sources.-Publishing Research Quarterly
