"Book history and print culture studies have recently been high on the agenda in a wide variety of disciplines ... Recent activity at the University of Toronto exemplifies the growing interest in the field.  Toronto has become an important centre for new research and collaboration, as evidenced by the founding of the collaborative program in Book History and Print Culture (BHPC) in 2000, the involvement of numerous researchers and institutional resources with the History of the Book in Canada/Histoire du livre et de l'imprimé au Canada (HBIC), and the University of Toronto Press's introduction of a new series, Studies in Book and Print Culture.  Organized by a group of graduate students involved with the BHPC program, the October 2002 'New Scholarship in Book History and Print Culture' conference, at which the papers presented here were first delivered, is further evidence of the University of Toronto's new engagement in the field."--Introduction.
