In this volume, rich aspects of the history of the Hebrew book are presented. It includes articles dealing with the literary dimensions of writing, such as literary formation through the writing of introductions. It also contains discussions on issues that deal with the way the book progresses from the writing stage to the distribution stage to the reader communities, such as editing, translation and proofreading. The path from the manuscript to the written book has not been overlooked either. The studies published in this volume extend from poetry to musar literature and Kabbalah. The volume devotes a special chapter to the study of the book's path in religious Zionism: three studies deal with writing biographies, reading habits and religious Zionist literature for youth.
