Italien, Beiträge zur Kenntnis dieses Landes

Books remain one of humanity's most important cultural achievements to this day. Their invention was as significant as that of the internet, coinciding with the introduction of the printing press: for the first time, mass dissemination of information became possible. Education, science, research, and even entertainment were placed on a new, technically and content-wise revolutionary foundation. Books are changing today's society.

The technological possibilities of mass book printing led to a radical increase in titles during the 18th and 19th centuries. However, the conditions were still quite different from today: Those who wrote a book back then often created a lifelong work. This is reflected in the high quality of old books.

Unfortunately, books age. Paper is not made to last forever. Therefore, we have made it our mission to preserve the knowledge contained in books for humanity and to make old books available in the highest possible quality at low prices.
