‘The Bookshop of the World: Making and Trading Books in the Dutch Golden Age’ by Andrew Pettegree and Arthur der WeduwenObviously, in an article about books in the Netherlands, there should be a book about books in the Netherlands (I can say “books” plenty more, trust me, but I won’t).
It has a strong focus on art history, which is no surprise, given the fame of Dutch Golden Age paintings.
