NO underlining. NO highlighting. NO margin notes. Revised edition, 1st U.S. printing (1977). Handsome illustrations, many in color. A primer and reference book on amateur printing which addresses selection and sources of type, paper, ink, and press; design and printing technique, glossary of terms, and a bibliography of inspirational sources. In an article for "The Private Library" (Summer 1989), Robert M. Jones of the Glad Hand Press wrote, "If I were King, I would decree, that no personal printing would be permitted until an applicant had studied the following volumes." He then listed this as one of five books that are "all the guidelines one will ever need." Bound in the original red boards, stamped in shiny gold. From the dust jacket: "This new edition will inspire a new generation of printers and will give them a great deal of pleasure. This edition is also, as was the first, something of a collector's piece for bibliophiles, for it contains new examples of printed ephemera from many small presses of distinction, and also a newly conceived introduction to type design.". 1st U.S. printing of the Revised edition. Hardcover. New/New dust jacket. 144pp. Great Packaging, Fast Shipping. 1st U.S. printing of the Revised edition.

Add to basketSoft cover. Condition: New. [450 copies printed.] 8vo. 24 cm. Pp. 256. Plates. Illusts. Maps. Some in colour. Paperback. New. 'Vivian Ridler, destined to become a distinguished Printer to the University of Oxford (1958-78), as a young man spent tghe war serving in the RAF: first in Orkney, then at the height of the conflict in Nigeria, before a period postwar as an intelligence officer in Germany. But why Nigeria, seemingly so far from the battle fronts? It transpires, as this previously unpublished 1943 diary reveals, that his two Nigerian locations (Iteja, near Lagos, and Kano) formed key links in the so-called Takoradi Route. This remarkable network of airbases, running from Takoradi in what is now Ghana all the way across Africa and up to Cairo, conveyed from 1940 to 1943 a crucial 5360 aircraft to British forces in North Africa. Without them the Allies would have lost the Desert War, and quite possibly World War II itself.' (From the Prospectus) Richly illustrated and contextualised with various supplementary texts also printed for the first time.
