Bøker av G. Thomas Tanselle

This book provides a guide to the study of American printed matter. Most research in this field has occurred in the last half century, yet no comprehensive attempt has been made to record it. Recognizing the need for an up-to-date guide, Tanselle has compiled a listing of the principal material dealing with printing and publishing in this country.

Written by one of the most eminent bibliographical and textual scholars working today, this book is both a practical guide to bibliographical research and a history of bibliography. For all who use books, this is an ideal starting point for learning how to read the object along with the words.

A philosophic grounding for textual criticism that shows how textual criticism is an integral part of the activity of reading.
