Offers an account of the founding of Jamestown in 1607 to Barack Obama's 2009 inaugural address - to show how American democracy is bound up with the history of print. Part civics primer, part cultural history, this title excavates the origins of everything from the paper ballot and the Constitution to the I O U and the dictionary.
