Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Magazine Style-Code, 1906: Abbreviations, the Use of Capital Letters, Compound Words, Etc;, Fully Illustrated and Explained
It was discovered that there never has been any formal style-code in use by the De Vinne Century printers. They have learned the style by studying De Vinne's Correct Composition and like works of his on typography. Office experience teaches printers the written and un written laws of the De Vinne code.
The method of the Century printers has been largely the method of the author of this manual. By correspondence with Mr. De Vinne, by studying his books, and by the prac tical application of his rules to the work of many offices the writer has come to know his methods, which are believed to be the simplest and most scholarly in use in the United States today. More than eighty per cent of the rules herein expounded are codified from the works of De Vinne, or gleaned from Teall and sim ilar sources of indisputable authority. The work of the Chicago Proofreaders' Association has been found helpful in the compounding of words.

1. It is to be regretted that every publishing-house does not start on the principle that a thorough system of doing things right should precede the turning out of printed matter; but( the press of business is so great, the demands It for 'rush work' are so many, that system comes last, if at all. Managers are busy with the cash account and the pay-roll, for which reason a great deal is left to chance.
Thus it falls that the negligence, incompetence, or preoccupation of printing-office man agers makes good systems of typography the exception rather than the rule. It is a reflection on the art preservative that the slipshod methods and unscholarly composition of the daily newspaper type often corrupt the pages of trade-and class-publications, as well as of magazines and books. See paragraph 45 of this book for an explanation of the use of hyphens in the foregoing sentence. See paragraph 68 for the use of single quote-marks herein.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This comprehensive guidebook, a consolidated collection of the author's earlier works, is an authoritative guide to typography for the working printer. It is particularly valuable for its recommendations for consistent style and spelling, which were non-existent in the newspaper and periodical industry at the time of publication. The author outlines practical applications for nuanced punctuation and capitalization of words, the systematic formatting of abbreviations and numbers and the usage of italics, foreign phrases, and special characters. By incorporating scholarship and technical knowledge of prominent authors and printers, this systematic style guide not only provides a wealth of guidance and resources for the practicing and aspiring typographer, but also provides insight into the author's aim to standardize typographic best practices for contemporary and future generations. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781332335978_0
