Really enjoyed this book for its facts and its often hysterical delivery of same. Highly recommended! ( ) I loved the subjects covered in the book and have gone down many enjoyable rabbit holes based on what I read. So much to learn! Love it. That said, I agree with many of the reviews mentioning the jokes that won’t age well. Still, I’m very glad I read this book. It’s been my ‘books on books’ list for a few years! Full disclosure, I'm a printer and book artist with a particular interest in early printed books, so... there wasn't a lot of ground I've never covered in this book. However, I think the authors did a good job of breaking the many strands of printing history into manageable chunks, and of highlighting significant philosophical and cultural developments as well. Sometimes the irreverent tone was grating and will, I suspect, make this book exceptionally dated very quickly, but I did snort with laughter a few times as well. Where the book really shines is in the conclusion, where suddenly they lay out parallels to this moment in time specifically, as we make our way to a possibly all-digital future -- it's quite brilliant, and pulls together all the different themes incredibly well. I wish that thoughtful commentary had been more apparent earlier in the book. Advanced Reader's copy provided by Edelweiss. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
