Some from a September 2008 conference in Copenhagen on international print culture, and some from other sources, nine essays explore how the English-speaking world has interacted with and
contributed to the flow of books around the world. Among the topics are book history and English hegemony, the Albatross Press and the Third Reich, the serial revolution at the periphery, the
reception of imperial adventure romance in Africa, Indian Ocean port cities and postcolonial printing, and book history and the metonymies of the text. There is no index. Distributed in the US
