My copies of Anthony Grafton, "Worlds Made by Words," Andrew Hui, "The Study: The Inner Life of Renaissance Libraries," and Eric Marshall White, "Johannes Gutenberg: A Biography in Books."
Farther back in history and on the subject of books and libraries, Anthony Grafton's collected essays in "Worlds Made by Words," Andrew Hui's "The Study: The Inner Life of Renaissance Libraries," and Eric Marshall White's new biography of Johannes Gutenberg were all excellent.

'A crucial innovation lay in the invention of βtimelinesβ (...) In 1765, the scientist-philosopher Joseph Priestley, best known for co-discovering oxygen, invented what was arguably the worldβs first modern timeline.'
