What is book culture?
Book culture encompasses writing, printing, circulating, reading and preserving texts.
Origins, forms and everyday life
Manuscripts, printing, publishers, booksellers and digital publication create different production systems. Paper, design, translation, price and distribution tell histories alongside the text. Reading access is uneven.
Meaning, change and safeguarding
Unauthorized copying, censorship, copyright and accessible formats matter. Libraries and archives do more than collect books: cataloguing and care make them usable by different readers.
