Review Quotes: "This volume offers a wealth of detail with broad overviews and case studies. It is useful for the large number of illustrated title pages it reproduces, and the general and bibliographical information it provides about the early modern illustrated title page." - Mara R. Wade, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, in: Renaissance Quarterly, Vol. 77, No. 2 (Summer 2024), pp. 703-704
