'... the book makes a valuable contribution to Folz studies.' Times Literary Supplement '[Huey’s] principal contribution to the study of early printed books is that she has introduced the long-overlooked yet fascinating publications of Hans Folz to English readers with a well-argued, informative, and engaging textual analysis.' SHARP News '... this is a welcome introduction to Hans Folz in English...' Publishing Research Quarterly 'Caroline Huey's adroit examination of Hans Folz's oeuvre constitutes a valuable and fresh contribution to Folz and late medieval German print culture scholarship. ...includes a helpful appendix featuring figures representing the cover page of all forty-two of his extant prints, in addition to a bibliography and a handy index. In sum, Huey's book is a commendable addition to Folz scholarship ...' Comitatus
