ISBN: 1444655426
The Printing of Books is Holbrook Jackson's engaging history of the craft of book production, tracing the evolution of printing from Gutenberg to the modern era. It explores type, presses, illustration, binding, and the skills and traditions that shaped the printed book. It isn't a technical manual on printing, but rather a series of thoughtful essays on the history, aesthetics, and culture of printing and book production. In an ironic twist, this particular edition is a Lightning Source copy, but is itself quite nicely clearly printed despite its poor parentage. 13 pages, 285 pages, illustrated. Size: 14 x 21.5 cms. Category: Varied Books; Books on Books; New Arrivals. ISBN: 1444655426. ISBN/EAN: 9781444655421. This item may require more postage than the rates shown for delivery outside the UK.
