The history of the book in East Asia is closely linked to problems of language and script, problems which have also had a profound impact on the technology of printing and on the social and intellectual impact of print in this area. This volume contains key readings on the history of printed books and manuscripts in China, Korea and Japan and includes an introduction which provides an overview of the history of the book in East Asia and sets the readings in their context.

Industry Reviews

'Brokaw and Kornicki clearly present in their volume some general features of Chinese, Korean, and Japanese book cultures which, put together, roughly outline the historical landscape of the printed book in East Asia. Their book is the first step towards a transnational history of the book in East Asia...Its reprinted inclusions are worth reading for historians of the book in East Asia and students interested in transnational and comparative studies.'
