Newsbooks, also called news-books, were more sophisticated than posters. They were the 16th-century precursors to today's newspapers. They covered a single big story, such as a battle, a disaster or a sensational trial.[1]
The Oxford English Dictionary describes them as "A small newspaper. In common use from about 1650 to 1700".
