Abstract

"The spaces of bookselling have as many stories to tell as do the books for sale. This Element focuses primarily on bookselling in the United States from the 19th through the 21st centuries and examines three key bookselling spaces - the store, the street, and the catalogue."-- Provided by publisher.
