The Late Age of Print: Everyday Book Culture from Consumerism to Control (2009) is a contemporary book written by Ted Striphas.

In this book, Striphas talks about the history of books and reading, and discusses the contemporary world of book culture. He mentions the different phases in the production and propagation of books. According to Striphas, printing productions are still a part of our everyday lives. "With examples from trade journals, news media, films, advertisements, and a host of other commercial and scholarly materials, Striphas tells a story of modern publishing that proves, even in a rapidly digitizing world, books are anything but dead."
