Printers, publishers and proletarians: some aspects of German book trades in nineteenth-century London
To come to the history of German book trades in nineteenth-century London with any preconceptions is to see those preconceptions, if not dashed, then strangely distorted.

Greek printing in England, 1500-1900. 1. A survey. II. Stephanos Xenos, a Greek publisher in nineteenth-century London

Emigres crowded into London. In such...Daniels, Morna
