Inky Fingers: The Making of Books in Early Modern Europe is a book by Anthony Grafton, a historian of the place and period. It was published by Belknap Press, an imprint of Harvard University Press, in 2020.
The cover was designed by Graciela Galup. The inset on the cover is a woodcut illustration depicting a printer’s shop from Jeremiah Hornschuch’s Orthotypographia (Leipzig, 1608), which Grafton says was the first handbook to be written on proof-corrections. You can see a scan of the print, from a second edition published in 1634, via the Saxon State and University Library Dresden.
