- This 120,000-word monograph results from thirty years of Raven’s extensive personal research, in which he painstaking sought out non-book print items in over 100 UK county and local archives, and also worked on British material in numerous archives in Ireland, mainland Europe and the US. Raven draws on this wealth of archival material and on insights from numerous disciplines to pioneer the history of non-book printing – the production of jobbing items, such as almanacs, periodicals, and directories. He shows that this production underpinned printing businesses, which in turn underpinned the commercial and economic enterprise that transformed 18th-century Britain.
