Le Journal d'événemens de Siméon-Prosper Hardy est une source de référence pour les historiens des Lumières et de la Révolution. L'immense manuscrit du libraire révèle anecdotes, faits divers, témoignages et transcriptions d'arrêts et d'affiches offrant aux chercheurs un tableau exceptionnel du Paris de la seconde moitié du XVIIIe siècle. Publié pour la première fois dans son intégralité, le Journal de Hardy peut désormais offrir un nouveau spectacle au lecteur : celui d'une histoire continue et ininterrompue d'un univers en crise. Chaque volume présente une analyse thématique du manuscrit capable de rendre compte de la complexité et de la valeur exceptionnelle de sa composition. Les éditeurs ont d'abord étudié le projet d'écriture de Hardy (volume 1), sa sensibilité religieuse (volume 2), sa conscience politique (volume 3), ses observations particulières et uniques sur la police parisienne (volume 4) et sa position privilégiée dans le monde du livre et de la librairie (volume 5). Le présent volume est consacré à l'occupation et à l'appropriation de la ville par Hardy, observateur scrupuleux d'un espace parisien en pleine restructuration.

Bereits 1833 forderte Friedrich Perthes, ?eine Unterrichtsanstalt für Lehrlinge des Buchhandels? in Leipzig zu errichten, ?wo als Mittelpunkt des deutschen Buchhandels das Gute für denselben ausgehen sollte?. Doch erst 20 Jahre später konnte die Deutsche Buchhändler-Lehranstalt durch Friedrich Fleischer, den Vorsitzenden des Vereins der Buchhändler zu Leipzig, eröffnet werden. Gedacht zuerst für Lehrlinge, deren Betriebe Vereinsmitglieder waren, wurde die Schule ab 1905 zur zentralen Aus- und Fortbildungsstätte des Buchhandels in Deutschland und nahm damit als private Einrichtung das überaus erfolgreiche duale System der Berufsausbildung vorweg.0Während der Inflationsjahre übernahm 1928 der Börsenverein die Schule, die seither als Deutsche Buchhändler-Lehranstalt firmierte. Mit Gründung der DDR verlor die Buchhändler-Lehranstalt Eigenständigkeit und Fachschulanspruch. Sie wurde verstaatlicht und zur Zentralen Berufsschule, an der Lehrlinge aus allen Bezirken einen Spezialkurs zu absolvieren hatten. Nach der Wiedervereinigung übergab der Börsenverein des Deutschen Buchhandels die reprivatisierte Schule der Stadt Leipzig, die sie 1993 mit der Buchdrucker-Lehranstalt zum Beruflichen Schulzentrum für Buch, Büro, Druck, Medien, Sprachen und Kunst vereinigte. 0Reimar Riese zeigt die Entwicklung dieser Institution anhand ihrer Verflechtungen sowohl mit branchenspezifischen wirtschaftlichen wie mit sozialpolitischen und soziokulturellen Bedingungen während Kaiserzeit, Weimarer Republik, nationalsozialistischer Diktatur und DDR auf. Die auf breiter Quellenbasis gewonnenen Erkenntnisse erhellen so die bislang unerforschte Geschichte der buchhändlerischen Ausbildung in Deutschland.

This book presents the story of a unique collection of 140 manuscripts of ‘learned magic’ that was sold for a fantastic sum within the clandestine channels of the German book trade in the early eighteenth century. The book will interpret this collection from two angles – as an artefact of the early modern book market as well as the longue-durée tradition of Western learned magic –, thus taking a new stance towards scribal texts that are often regarded as eccentric, peripheral, or marginal. The study is structured by the apparent exceptionality, scarcity, and illegality of the collection, and provides chapters on clandestine activities in European book markets, questions of censorship regimes and efficiency, the use of manuscripts in an age of print, and the history of learned magic in early modern Europe. As the collection has survived till this day in Leipzig University Library, the book provides a critical edition of the 1710 selling catalogue, which includes a brief content analysis of all extant manuscripts. The study will be of interest to scholars and students from a variety of fields, such as early modern book history, the history of magic, cultural history, the sociology of religion, or the study of Western esotericism.

"Jorge Carrión collects bookshops: from Gotham Book Mart and the Strand Bookstore in New York City to City Lights Bookshop and Green Apple Books in San Francisco and all the bright spots in between (Prairie Lights, Tattered Cover, and countless others). In this thought-provoking, vivid, and entertaining essay, Carrión meditates on the importance of the bookshop as a cultural and intellectual space. Filled with anecdotes from the histories of some of the famous (and not-so-famous) shops he visits on his travels, thoughtful considerations of challenges faced by bookstores, and fascinating digressions on their political and social impact, Bookshops is both a manifesto and a love letter to these spaces that transform readers' lives."--

Re-Inventing the Book: Challenges from the Past for the Publishing Industry chronicles the significant changes that have taken place in the publishing industry in the past few decades and how they have altered the publishing value chain and the structure of the industry itself. The book examines and discusses how most publishing values, aims, and strategies have been common since the Renaissance. It aims to provide a methodological framework, not only for the understanding, explanation, and interpretation of the current situation, but also for the development of new strategies. The book features an overview of the publishing industry as it appears today, showing innovative methods and trends, highlighting new opportunities created by information technologies, and identifying challenges. Values discussed include globalization, convergence, access to information, disintermediation, discoverability, innovation, reader engagement, co-creation, and aesthetics in publishing.--
