I'm not sure if this was mentioned in class, but you can read this book in its entirety at Questia.

Nevermind. I thought it was free, but you have to pay a minimum of $10 to read the latter part of the book.

thank you Chris. I forgot to order it over break, so I had to borrow Kaylas copy. This should suffice until my copy gets here in about a week.

"Just as music written for a small group of instruments has a different tone and tempo from music designed for large halls, so with books. Printing has enlarged the "hall" for the author's performance until all aspects of style have been altered." (McLuhan, p.85)

"But one natural consequence of the specializing action of the new forms of knowledge was that all kinds of power took on a strongly centralist character. Whereas the role of the feudal monarch had been inclusive, the king actually including in himself all his subjects, the Renaissance prince tended to become an exclusive power centre surrounded by his individual subjects. (McLuhan, The Gutenberg Galaxy: The Making of Typographic Man 12)"
