"This volume of essays is essential reading for anyone interested in the materiality of texts in their inception, production, transmission, and reception, offering timely interventions into a developing conversation about early modern material culture. A key strength of the book is its combined theoretical and practical thrust: case studies are contextualized and theorized, genuine questions and avenues for future study identified. The essays in this volume leave readers wanting more a good result and attest to the range and vitality of current scholarship focused on illuminating early modern texts and social practices among both established and emerging scholars."
