The Boston Book Market, 1679-1700 offers a detailed examination of the early book trade in Boston during the late 17th century. Authored by Worthington Chauncey Ford and published in conjunction with the Club of Odd Volumes, this work provides valuable insights into the booksellers, printers, and consumers who shaped Boston's literary landscape.

Through meticulous research, the book illuminates the types of books that were available, the prices they commanded, and the social and economic factors that influenced the market. It sheds light on the reading habits and intellectual interests of early American colonists and offers a glimpse into the cultural life of Boston during a formative period.
