About This Item
London & New York: Studio Vista / Watson-Guptill, ( 1969 ). First Edition. Hardcover. Fine/fine. Duodeciimo, 80 pages, yellow cloth
"The object of this book is to teach the basic requirements of typography - how to fit the words into space allowed for them; or, if they won't fit, how to find out what space they need, or how much the copy must be cut to make it fit ... I have been mystified by books that assume some knowledge of the subject on the part of the reader. I shall assume no previous knowledge, and start at the very beginning. " - Introduction. With diagrams, illustrations.

About Thomas J. Joyce And Company
Joyce And Company has been in business as a professional rare bookseller and appraiser since 1975. Owner Thomas Joyce was the regular book appraiser on Home & Garden TV\'s \"The Appraisal Fair\\\" program, on international broadcasts. Thomas Joyce was the co-discoverer of George Washington's personal copy of William Leybourn's 1679 edition of THE COMPLEAT SURVEYOR, from which young Washington learned some of his surveying skills at age 16. The book had vanished for nearly a century until its re-discovery in 2017. It is now back at Mt. Vernon.
