The French Book and the European Book World
This work offers a series of linked studies of European print culture in the sixteenth century, focusing particularly on France and the regional, provincial experience of print. France, in the sixteenth century, was one of the great centres of the European publishing industry. But in the second half of the century the established dominance of Paris and Lyon was increasingly challenged by other new printing centres, stimulated in part by the religious and political crisis of the French Wars of Religion. Drawing on the data collected by the St Andrews French book project, the author reconstructs the enigmatic history of a number of previously unstudied printers. The focus throughout is on popular print, and the growth of mass market for news, entertainment and religious instruction.

Praise for this book
"These essays move in exemplary fashion from specific bibliographic discoveries to general considerations of great importance for understanding the comparative history of the European Reformation. [...] On putting down this volume, one understands better than ever before why the English Reformation was such a slow reformation from above". Philip Benedict, University of Geneva. In: The English Historical Review CXXV (2010), pp. 421-423.
"This collection is a celebration of the value of direct examination of the sources. [...] The ecclesiastical historian [...] will benefit greatly from reading this". Cristina Dondi, University of Oxford. In: Journal of Ecclesiastical History, Vol. 60, Issue 4 (2009)
