Book Description
Surveys the libraries of ancient, Medieval, and modern times. Substantially revised from the 1976 third edition (first in 1965) to incorporate the new history of books, the electronic advances in communication, and the political changes in Europe since the late 1980s. The bibliographies are also updated to reflect current thinking about both the past and the current significance of libraries. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
