520 _a"The Printers, Stationers and Bookbinders of Westminster and London from 1476 to 1535" by E. Gordon Duff is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the early history and evolution of the printing industry in England, particularly focusing on influential figures such as William Caxton and the changes in printing practices over time. It provides an in-depth examination of the transition from manuscript to print, alongside the significant impact of London and Westminster as centers of this burgeoning industry. The opening of the work establishes the foundation of Duff's lectures, delivered as the Sandars Reader in Bibliography. In these introductory sections, he contextualizes the history of printing, contrasting it with the obscurities found in other nations' histories. The narrative begins with an emphasis on Caxton's pivotal role in introducing printing to England, detailing his life, the challenges he faced, and the types of books he printed. It also addresses early rivalries in the English book trade and sets the stage for a closer look at other printers who emerged after Caxton, signaling the beginning of a much broader exploration into the development of printing and publishing from the late 15th to the early 16th centuries.
