“We are part of a long tradition, we publishers, printers, editors and booksellers. Our shops have been destroyed, books have been censored and burned, and we have been imprisoned, exiled, sent to concentration camps, hung
and burned at the stake. … We have also helped fan the flames of noble revolutions, both political and social. A working knowledge of the history of printing, the book arts and the book industry can help establish a vital sense of identity that can sometimes keep a harassed publisher from giving up.”
