This site only reproduces historical material on the history of printing, typography, and publishing. As the historiography of the industry continued throughout the twentieth century clearly many statements have been factually expanded upon, changed, given new theoretical perspectives and so on. The following (for a start only at the present date) are references which do exactly that.
