About This Book

A state-by-state survey presents the earliest examples of printing within each of the fifty states, combining concise accounts of how printing began locally with descriptions of the Library's earliest imprints—broadsides, newspapers, laws, almanacs, primers, and books—and available provenance and bibliographical notes. Each section stands alone while the sequence suggests the geographic spread of presses and printers; appended notes and references document sources and occasional ownership histories for important rare items.
