The Oxford History of the Irish Book, Volume II: The Printed Book in Irish, 1567-2010s

This volume spans almost five hundred years of Irish-language book printing, production, publication, distribution, and reception. It begins with the 1567 publication of John Carswell's Gaelic version of the Book of Common Order and follows the story of the printed book (and journalism) in Irish into the twenty-first century.
