About this Item

8vo 404pp. + illustrations. from Preface: "Of the making of books there is no end, and as it is almost a proverb that there is no profit or money to be made in the printing business, and as a very unique experience has fallen to my lot, I venture to contribute for those who wish for infromation the experiences of one who has risen from the ranks without monetary assistance from relatives or friends, except in a business way. Many of those who have made printing their life work have found few pleasures for themselves in this precarious occupation, yet I have found a peculiar joy in the business from the moment I entered as clerk in a stationery store at the Antipodes." #01195. good: age and handling wear to boards and spine, scuffed corners, offset from frontispiece on endpapers, evidence of damp stain to edge of text block. text clean, binding intact.
