Abstract
Many cautions attend the methodologies and strategies developed in pursuit of an historical understanding of ‘print culture’. The very use of the term ‘print culture’ is problematic and should remind those who concentrate upon historical aspects of the ‘history of the book’ (rather than critical bibliographical studies) that historians start with people, study people and make conclusions about people.
