This book not only covers the life and careers of Augustine Dauby, but it also covers the history of printing in the Rochester area in the 1800s. The book tells of the major printers (like Mr Dauby) who printed their own papers and the minor printers, those of the lesser established printing presses. The book has a foldout copy of the Rochester Gazette for 1819 and a presentation slip that was folded over the first page as a presentation announcement of this book. A clean very presentable copy.
