具體描述
This book is the definitive study of imperial Chinese local gazetteers, one of the most important sources for premodern Chinese studies. Methodologically innovative, it represents a major contribution to the history of books, publishing, reading, and society.
By examining how gazetteers were read, Joseph R. Dennis illustrates their significance in local societies and national discourses. His analysis of how gazetteers were initiated and produced reconceptualizes the geography of imperial Chinese publishing. Whereas previous studies argued that publishing, and thus cultural and intellectual power, were concentrated in the southeast, Dennis shows that publishing and book ownership were widely dispersed throughout China and books were found even in isolated locales. Adding a dynamic element to our earlier understanding of the publishing industry, Dennis tracks the movements of manuscripts to printers and print labor to production sites. By reconstructing printer business zones, he demonstrates that publishers operated across long distances in trans-regional markets. He also creates the first substantial data set on publishing costs in early modern China—a foundational breakthrough in understanding the world of Chinese books. Dennis’s work reveals areas for future research on newly-identified regional publishing centers and the economics of book production.

如果沒有接觸過地方誌材料，這是一本很好的入門書。而對於常使用地方誌的學者來說，這本書則沒有太深入的觀點。翻翻裡麵的小個案是瞞有意思的。
评分第一部分寫得不錯；二三部分仍在Chartier的框架之內
评分第一部分寫得不錯；二三部分仍在Chartier的框架之內
评分雖略顯無趣，但包羅萬象，是一本非常紮實的作品。
评分非常平實的研究, 把一個宏大的題目做得井井有條。比較好奇的是，什麼樣的數據和資料經過地方誌的一道篩選不會被記錄進去。
