  Steinberg, S.H. FIVE HUNDRED YEARS OF PRINTING.
New edition, revised by John Trevitt. London & New Castle, Delaware Oak Knoll Press & The British Library (2001) 8vo. cloth, dust jacket. 272 pages.
New edition, entirely re-set and containing over one hundred new illustrations. Five Hundred Years of Printing describes the pivotal role that printing has played in the development of human civilization. This work covers the history of printing with movable types through several periods. Steinberg begins with the creative century (1450-1550), which witnessed the invention and beginnings of practically every single feature that characterizes the modern printing piece. An era of consolidation (1550-1800) then followed and refined achievements of the preceding period. The 19th century experienced an era of mechanization, beginning with the invention of lithography and ending with Morris's rediscovery of the Middle Ages and the heyday of the private presses. This and the inception of paperbacks preceded the post-war world, which saw the fields of typesetting, printing and publishing turned upside down.
Five Hundred Years also traces the close relationship between printing and culture over many years and also discusses topics like censorship, bestsellers, popular series, and the connection between printing and education, language and literature. Now available again in a larger, finely-illustrated format, Oak Knoll Press's edition, revised and updated by John Trevitt, draws on the collections and curatorial expertise of the British Library. This new edition takes into account the huge technological changes that the printing industry has experienced in the last two decades.

  Stillwell, Margaret Bingham THE BEGINNING OF THE WORLD OF BOOKS, 1450 TO 1470: A CHRONOLOGICAL SURVEY OF THE TEXTS CHOSEN FOR PRINTING DURING THE FIRST TWENTY YEARS OF THE PRINTING ART.
WITH SYNOPSIS OF THE GUTENBERG DOCUMENTS New York The Bibliographical Society of America 1972 7 x 9.5 inches hardcover 140 pages
According to the Preface, for a hundred years or more, the bibliographical scholars of the world have sought to identify the man of genius who, in the mid-fifteenth century, changed the course of civilization by introducing the art of printing into the Western World. Our knowledge of Gutenberg and his claim rests upon two factors: a series of documents in manuscript that range from 1420 to the settling of his estate in 1468. These, however, fail to give conclusive support to his claim as the inventor of printing, although presenting, in the early records, an occasional and vague reference to printing, paper, ink, a press, and "four pieces" which Theodore Low DeVinne, Dr. Otto W. Fuhrmann and others have identified as the parts of a type-casting mould. The second factor consists of tributes to Gutenberg by his contemporaries and their successors, which specifically name him as the inventor of printing in statements which appeared in printed books issued during the years 1470-1499. Stillwell's work contains a bibliography of 215 of the first printed documents described as "Books and Broadsides 1450-1470," along with supplementary sections and notes on the Gutenberg documents.
