《金陵卖书记》和《汴梁卖书记》是上海开明书店1902年、1903年两次考场书市的实录,也是迄今所知中国最早的关于图书发行活动的专著。不仅为晚清书市提供了生动的个案,而且通过书市这个窗口,透视出西学东渐、新旧转型之际的士林风气和社会现状,具有重要的出版史、文化史、社会史意义。 “Jinling Selling Secretary” and “Liangli Selling Secretary” are the records of Shanghai Kaiming Bookstore in 1902 and 1903, respectively. They are also the earliest books on book distribution in China so far known. This book not only provides a vivid case for late Qing Dynasty book market, but also shows the history of Shilin and social status quo in the process of westward learning and the transition from old to new. It has important significance in publishing history, cultural history and social history.
