The purpose with this book was not to deal with esthetics or the principles of typography nor the philosophy of design. Rather it was written about the material of the printer, the breathtaking innovations in the business and the practices, customs and institutions with which the printer is involved and occupied. First edition, the first volume of the series. Sections on America’s composing machines, some famous printing presses, noted printing personalities and glimpses of printing history. With a section on Will Bradley’s first printing press, the one he gave to Goudy.
Three volumes were published in this series.
