About the book

The Book-Makers by Adam Smyth is a history book for adult readers.

Every book-lover's dream: a celebration of 550 years of the printed book, told through the remarkable lives of eighteen extraordinary men and women. The Book-Makers is a celebration of 550 years of the printed book, told through the lives of eighteen extraordinary men and women who took the book in radical new directions: printers and binders, publishers and artists, paper-makers and library founders.

This is a story of skill, craft, mess, cunning, triumph, improvisation, and error. Some of these names we know. We meet jobbing printer (and American Founding Father) Benjamin Franklin.
