Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the fascinating story of a Scottish family of booksellers who, against the odds, thrived in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The author traces the journey of the Millers, a family of yeoman farmers turned merchants, as they established themselves in the small coastal town of Dunbar. The story unfolds against the backdrop of a changing Scotland, a country undergoing significant social and economic transformations, particularly with the rise of literacy and demand for books. The book explores how the Millers, through their entrepreneurial spirit and resilience, shaped the literary landscape of their region. It delves into the challenges they faced as they established their business, including the need to cultivate a reading public in a relatively isolated town. The book also highlights the Millersââ ⢠contributions to the broader development of bookselling in Scotland, their role as cultural agents, and their personal struggles with societal and religious norms. The author uses primary sources, including the Millersââ ⢠own writings, to offer a detailed and captivating portrait of this family's remarkable rise and its impact on the world of books. This book provides a unique and insightful perspective on the development of the book trade and the changing social landscape of Scotland during a period of significant transformation.
