Recenzii
'As a complete set, this work is an essential addition to any library with an interest in the history of the book … elegantly written and well-researched volume …'. Dr Jessica Gardner, University of Exeter Library. CILIP Rare Books Group
'McKitterick has produced an impressive work that deals confidently with a vast mass of intricate detail without losing sight of the main stream of his story. … This is an indispensable tool for understanding the development of the Press over a century of massive change …'. The Magazine of the Cambridge Society
'… a major achievement. Dr McKitterick's aim, to set the history of the CUP in a broader context of academic publishing and indeed general economic and cultural history, has again been achieved … lessons learnt from this major venture … will assuredly have to be taken fully into account. There is much here that takes the story of the Press's major publications well beyond what has been generally known about them … The final chapters, covering the thirty years from the end of the Second World War, are in many ways the most interesting.' The Library
' … a goldmine of new information and new insights … fascinating detail … no reader of this Journal will fail to learn something from this book; many, like your reviewer, will learn a very great deal. This is a book worthy of its subject; like all the best products of the press it is scholarly, well-written, beautifully produced and of permanent value.' Journal of the Printing Historical Society
