Book Synopsis
Outlining the full range of practises that publishers performed, including the acquisition of copy and titles, compiling, alteration to texts, and reissuing, Elizabethan Publishing and the Makings of Literary Culture considers links between the book trade and the literary culture of Elizabethan England.

Trade Review
"This book is rife with references to practices and people not often discussed, but Melnikoff’s integration of terminology, Elizabethan classics, and applied techniques leaves an open door for both publishing professionals and newly interested readers to engage with the peculiarities of sixteenth century publishing." -- Marina Garcia, Portland State University * Publishing Research Quarterly, vol 35 *
