Volume three of A History of the Book in America narrates the emergence of a national book trade in the nineteenth century, as changes in manufacturing, distribution, and publishing conditioned, and were conditioned by, the evolving practices of authors and readers. Chapters trace the ascent of the "industrial book" - a manufactured product arising from the gradual adoption of new printing, binding, and illustration technologies.
