'This visual history brings together an extraordinary collection of books to illustrate a canon of more than five hundred years of Western books design. Lavishly illustrated throughout, this is an unmissable journey through time for everyone who loves books.'

From the invention and spread of printing to postmodernism, with the work of the greatest architects, printers (Geraert Leeu, Aldus Manutius, William Morris...) and artists (Giovanni Battista Piranesi, Maria Sybella Merian...).
