About this Item
Description:
New York: Oswald Pub. Co., 1925. 403 pages. Illustrated with numerous type specimens and tables, and a few engravings, all printed with the text. Original brown cloth with gilt spine lettering. [19.3 cm.] Very good plus. Slight rubbing to spine ends, some rather faint soiling to cloth, still a nice copy. From the library of Charles Harold Lauck, Sr. (1896-1975) with his signature on the front pastedown. [Lauck was the founder of the Journalism Laboratory Press at Washington and Lee University in Lexington, Virginia, and its director from 1932 to 1962. The Press was noteworthy for its publication of limited-edition books and pamphlets concerning bibliography, printing history, and graphic arts education. In addition to his work at Washington and Lee, Lauck was an active member of the National Graphic Arts Education Association and the International Graphic Arts Association and served as president of the latter in 1939-1940.] Later edition, apparently being a reprint of the first edition of 1900 (c.r. 1899). This was the first of four books in the author's important series on practical typography written for printers. Seller Inventory # 0000648
