- Summary:
- In "A Changing View from Amsterdam," the esteemed Cambridge librarian David McKitterick takes the readers back to the days of Frederick Muller (1817-81), the most important Dutch bookseller of his time, and offers an absorbing portrait of the nineteenth-century antiquarian book trade in Europe. McKitterick examines bookselling and the international trade in both new and old books as a frame for understanding the history of the book. Further, he considers how this history will affect the future development of the book.
