- This 100,000-word monograph investigates the sociology of books in contemporary India. It is the result of sustained research involving the collection and analysis of a large body of primary material. An extended research trip to India in 2014 was required to assemble the material, which included over 100 ephemeral print documents, participant questionnaires, examination guides, and many online sources. As the materials were so widely dispersed, considerable research time was required in order to gather, quantify and analyse them. The resulting monograph provides an in-depth analysis of under-researched areas in the field of book history from an interdisciplinary perspective.
