Summary:	In The Nature of the Book, a tour de force of cultural history, Adrian Johns constructs an entirely original and vivid picture of print culture and its many arenas-commercial, intellectual, political, and individual.""A compelling exposition of how authors, printers, booksellers and readers competed for power over the printed page. ...
