Making Meaning: "Printers of the Mind" and Other… by D. F. McKenzie

A collection of important essays and printed addresses by this key bibliographer of the late twentieth century. Very useful to have these conveniently between two covers for easy access. McKenzie's imaginative and unconventional approach to book historical and bibliography research remains a good example to all doing this work today.
