Minick appears to have also written a few books about kung-fu.

#Bibliography, #BookHistory, #PrintCulture, etc., friends: hot on the heels of a great global librarianship and print culture course, I am teaching a doctoral seminar simply called “Bibliographical Theories.” What works, theories, trends, would you see integral to such a course? Thank you for your collective feedback. Want to make sure I take into account as many voices as possible.
