‘This collection breaks important new ground in study of print culture in Russia and Soviet Union. In addition to the generally high quality of essays, the book seeks to “strike the imagination of a new generation of scholars” that has grown up with the internet and is often more comfortable with a website than the hard copy…. The essays have many insightful tidbits to offer a broad spectrum of readers.’ - Lousie McReynolds (The Russian Review vol 71:01:2012) ‘The Space of the Book provides rich insight into the role print culture plays in the social imagination of Russian readers. A broader understanding and critical investigation of this field are becoming increasingly topical today, when the space of print culture is being increasingly contested by the emerging network culture.’ - Olga Kim (Slavic and East European Journal vol 56:03:2012) ‘The book provides a welcome and in-depth scholarship on Russian print history that reflects the still untapped resources in this field.’- Rhonda Clark (Modern Greek Studies Yearbook vol 30/31:2014/2015)
