Lotte Hellinga is former Deputy Keeper at the British Library and has published almost 200 books and articles on the history of the book, including Caxton in Focus: The Beginning of Printing in England (1982), she was co-editor of Volume 3 (1400-1557) of The Cambridge History of the Book in Britain (1999), and she is the compiler of the extensive Catalogue of Books Printed in the XVth Century Now in the British Library (2007).
"The great success of William Caxton and Early Printing in England is that its concessions to the general reader extend an invitation into an exciting world of research in progress, where much still remains to be discovered. . . . There is much here for anyone interested in the literature and culture of the years between the medieval and early modern periods, fittingly enhanced by striking illustrations which suggest something of the variousness of early printed books, and the energy with which their readers were ready to annotate, enhance and deface them."-- "Times Literary Supplement"
