Abstract
Since the 16th century until the second decade of the 19th, when the territorial jurisdiction of New Granada belonged to Spanish rule, the book market implicated practices and actors that we have not characterize yet. To better understand the cultural context of New Granada, it is necessary to know the conditions that allowed the mercantile exchange of books from Spain to the ports and cities of New Granada. There are many issues that involve the trade of books and they cannot forget issues, which we approach from a methodology that tracks documentary sources of archives and bibliographic sources, such as Peninsular booksellers and printers, commercial agents, merchants of the Consulate of Cartagena de Indias, or the distribution and sale of books by means of intermediaries in cities of the interior.
