First edition. Introduction by Merry Wiesner-Hanks. An incredible book covering all aspects of women in the book trade during the 16th century. The first part of the book is a history of books illustrated by women, women in the book trade in Belgium, France, Germany and Italy, and various indexes. The second part contains a well-annotated bibliography of women writers, books with music by women, books illustrated by women, and women in the book business. Corners slightly bumped.
