Summary Contains concise individual company histories on the publishing houses in Britain from the dawn of the early modern book trade (from the then common practice of a publisher commissioning, financing, printing, and selling publications directly to the public) to the modern era of specialization and the establishment of publishing as a distinct trade separate from printing and bookselling.
