A really interesting look at the materiality (versus the direct content) of the book in Indian country. Round does really careful good work to navigate the role of the book in communities and its impact, paying really good attention to specificity. My favorite chapters were the ones talking about proprietary authorship and reprinting--I thought those were so interesting and I'd love really to explore more the notion of trademarking something for a nation but held in one's name. The chapter about illustration was also fascinating. Overall a really good book I'd definitely recommend to folks who are interested in the history of the book and its contested role in colonization!
