The pages on modern book production have been brought up to date, and the first chapter, dealing with the origins of printing in Europe, a subject on which new light has recently been shed, has been entirely recast. There are minor alterations elsewhere and some new plates. Based upon the original work by Harry G. Aldis, this manual is for all who are interested in printing, amateurs or professionals, and is the only one to cover the subject. Its chapters deal with the history of printed books from the beginning, with production methods and processes, illustrations, binding and the care of books. There are many illustrations, an original appendix on the development of type design, and a useful guide to further reading.". Third Edition, Revised. Hardcover. Fine condition/Fine dust jacket. xii, 142pp. Great Packaging, Fast Shipping.

Sobre About Books
About Books (Genny and Michael Winne, proprietors, formerly of Parsippany, New Jersey) has been selling rare and OP books since 1985. Besides book fairs and mail-order catalogues, long-time collectors and dealers will remember our lengthy For Sale ads in the Antiquarian Bookman and similar magazines. Our inventory of over 40,000 volumes is especially strong in the specialties listed, but contains fine books in a variety of other fields as well. Because most of our books are stored in protective boxes, rather than on shelves, they cannot be viewed as a whole. If you wish to visit us to examine specific titles, please provide 24 hours notice and we will make them available for your inspection. Phone calls to (702) 750-2722 are welcome, but please, only between the hours of 8am and 10pm (west coast time).
