The project was intended to provide a scholarly compendium on the history of the book in Russia. However, these prominent scholars, who represent pre-revolutionary academic traditions, could not advance their work beyond volume one. The second volume: RUSSKAIA KNIGA DEVIATNADTSATOGO VEKA (published in 1925)was no longer a survey but a collection of articles.
