The Magazine Style-Code, 1906: Abbreviations, the Use of Capital Letters, Compound Words, Etc;, Fully Illustrated and Explained (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from The Magazine Style-Code, 1906: Abbreviations, the Use of Capital Letters, Compound Words, Etc;, Fully Illustrated and Explained
The hurried work of newspapermen may be partly excused on the ground of haste, yet in another sense it requires no more time to do a thing the right way than to do it the wrong way.
Printing-houses that pretend to turn out careful work, such as publishing books and periodicals, should follow some model of nu questioned authority; but as proper exemplars are not often at hand, the daily newspaper, being omnipresent, is taken for a pattern.

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.
