XIX; 326 S. / p., viele Schriftproben. Papierbedingt leicht gebräunt, Buchrücken leicht bestoßen, innen gut und sehr sauber / Slightly browned due to paper, spine slightly bumped, inside good and very clean - Volume 2 - In his comprehensive study of types from the earliest times to the twentieth century, Daniel Berkeley Updike, founder of the famous Merrymount Press of Boston, traces the sequence of development in typography and discusses the relative importance of each period and the lesson that it holds for the modern printer. The illustrations reproduce carefully selected pages from rare and beautiful books. The text constitutes a running commentary on the historical and artistic significance of these specimens, which exemplify the best work of printers and type founders from Gutenberg to Bruce Rogers. The closing chapters on choice of type and on the industrial conditions of the past and their relationship to the problem of printers today are particularly valuable. -- XV.
