Print Appendix A contains bibliographic data on all 479 editions of printed practical books analyzed in Reading Practice, as well as a discussion of the parameters used to identify “practical books” within the English Short Title Catalogue. Data can be viewed in a spreadsheet or downloaded in CSV format.
Print Appendix B contains a network analysis illustrating the relationship
between London’s printers and popular editions of practical books, created using the standardized
and cleaned data from Print Appendix A and the open-access software Cytoscape.
Print Appendix C features several data visualizations created with the
software Tableau which illustrate the most popular genres, most common size, and most prolific printers
of practical books in England between 1485–1600.
