An international trade emerged between 1870-1895 that incorporated the circulation of books among countries worldwide. A history of the social network and select agents who sold and distributed books overseas, this study demonstrates agents increasingly thought of the world as a negotiable, connected system and books as transnational commodities.
This first extensive history of Canada's early book trade begins with the impact of the Gutenberg printing revolution. Parker analyses the role of technological advances in printing, to the growing complexity of the book trade in the major cities up to the time in the last quarter of the nineteenth century.
