Thornton and Tully's Scientific Books, Libraries, and Collectors
In the 25 years since the third edition of this book, scientific publishing has developed new forms and the academic discipline and popular appreciation of the history of science has grown. This edition discusses these changes and ponders the implications of developments in publishing by the end of the 20th century, while concentrating upon the dissemination of scientific ideas and knowledge from antiquity to the industrial age. In this shift of focus, it departs from previous editions and for the first time, a chapter on Islamic science is included.

Thornton's Medical Books, Libraries, and Collectors
This book is the standard work on the production, distribution and storage of medical literature from the earliest times. This third edition, edited by Alain Besson, is in keeping with the author's original intention and retains the basic structure of the first two editions. A new team of contributors have each provided chapters on their specialized subject to ensure a wide-ranging but detailed study. The opening chapter 'Medical Books before the Invention of Printing' now focuses on the production and transmission of medical manuscripts in the West, instead of giving a shallow treatment to the entire field of manuscript studies.
