"This imaginative, doubly educative, and admittedly ambitious project called for a threefold approach. The invention of printing with movable types . . . was crucial to the whole evolution of western civilization during the ensuing five hundred years; for the printing press furnished the means of repeatable precision of text and the capacity for mass circulation of ideas. It was our aspiration to illustrate, for the first time in a coherent display, the internal development of the invention, in the technical progress of printing as a craft; its external development, in the significant achievements of printing (and illustration) as an applied art; and, beyond these limits, the impact of printing on the mind of man, with consequent effect on his history" (p. v). 424 annotated entries.
