The contributions to this volume address important issues about books and their users in the 15th century. A unifying theme is the complex relationships between producers - be they authors, printers or decorators - the economic conditions of book distribution, and the requirements of readers or other users of books. Two contributions focus on technical aspects of the production of books, essential for our understanding of how texts met their readers. Such engaged and informed openness towards other disciplines is necessary for students of books to understand why the European invention of printing was successful - of why books became the first successful mechanically mass-produced marketable product.

This new volume by Dr. Rhodes consists of forty studies on the printing and bibliography of Italy and Spain published over the years 1981-1991. The Italian material relates largely to printing in the Northern Italian cities in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, including Verona, Venice, Brescia, Treviso and Bologna. The Spanish papers deal with Italo-Spanish editions and cross-influences in this period, and the early printing of a number of important Spanish centres.
