Mysterious spaces are left on the parchment; advertising creeps into illumination; forbidden works circulate underground; a new Robin Hood isn't a Robin Hood at all; and other adventures from the days before Caxton set us on the road to Wordstar. Beginning an annual series, this volume contains ten articles and a select list of manuscripts at auction in 1986 and 1987. Readable enough for the non-specialist. A little overpriced for not being hand written. No bibliography. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
