From the dust jacket: "In sixteenth and seventeenth-century England a trade dealing in reasonable priced chapbooks was developed to appeal widely to the English villager. . . . Margaret Spufford examines not only the scale of their operations, distribution and profits, but also the contents of the 'small books.' . . . The chapbooks were unique because they provided stimuli to rural people other than that coming from the pulpit and the alehouse."
