This commercial site developed by Jeremy Norman has an amazing amount of information about the history of science, medicine and information. According to the 'blurb' on the site 'Historyofscience.com is more than a bookselling site. It is also about the culture of collecting the history of science, medicine, and technology.'
An interactive timeline now available on the site. It is a great resource for bits and pieces on rare books, printing, publishing!
Did you know that the first known medical work was printed in 1457. The Bloodletting calendar apparently listed the unlucky and lucky days to have your blood drained!
