Chapters trace the ascent of the \"industrial book--a manufactured product arising from the gradual adoption of new printing, binding, and illustration technologies and encompassing the profusion of nineteenth-century printed materials--which relied on nationwide networks of financing, transportation, and communication. In tandem with increasing educational opportunities and rising literacy rates, the industrial book encouraged new sites of reading; gave voice to diverse communities of interest through periodicals, broadsides, pamphlets, and other printed forms; and played a vital role in the development of American culture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContributors: \u003cbr\u003eSusan Belasco, University of Nebraska\u003cbr\u003eCandy Gunther Brown, Indiana University\u003cbr\u003eKenneth E.
