Edited by Robin Myers, Michael Harris and Giles Mandelbrote From the Frankfurt book fairs in the 16th century to the Farringdon Road barrows in the 20th, fairs and markets have played a crucial role in the circulation of books. In this volume leading book historians investigate the presence of the book trade in the streets and public spaces of Britain and continental Europe. The essays range across geographical as well as chronological frontiers to follow the movement of books, ideas and people.
