First published in 1817, this three-volume work by Thomas Frognall Dibdin (1776–1847) is an enthusiastic and well-illustrated exploration of bibliographical history from illuminated manuscripts to contemporary book auctions. Volume 2 presents the rise and progress of printing, particularly on the Continent, and a survey of bookbinding.
