Mallette Dean engraved on wood the pressmark which appears on the final page, and he also engraved the decoration of the hand, which is based on a fifteenth-century woodcut. A definitive manual by the author on fine printing through hand-craftsmanship. The entire art is explained, the various presses, how to assemble the press, the use of friskets, paper and methods of damping it, the function of guide-pins and points, inking and the use of bearers. Includes an appendix of sources of printing equipment, a bibliography and an index. One of the best of the printing manuals to be issued in the 20th century.
