crl-12529	Harris, Michael H.	A History of Book Publishing in the United States; Volume I: The Creation of an Industry, 1603-1865 (Book Review)	1973-05-01	1	.pdf	application/pdf	717	33	63	However, it now ap- pears, if the first volume can be considered typical of those to come, that our skepti- cism was unjustified; for Tebbel has writ- ten a clear, well organized, and detailed synthesis of American publishing history to the Civil War, and while the whole project still strikes us as audacious, we feel com- pelled to compliment both the author and publisher for the remarkable success they have achieved with this first volume. Book Pub- lishing in the United States should be ac- quired by all libraries, large or small, which profess any interest at all in the his- tory of American publishing, and if the suc- ceeding volumes (two more are projected) are of equal merit, this work should easily become the standard history of publishing in the United States for years to come.- Michael H.
