"In his comprehensive study of types from the earliest times to the twentieth century, Mr. Updike, founder of the famous Merrymount Press of Boston, traces the sequence of development in typography and discusses the relative importance of each period and the lesson that it holds for the modern printer. The 367 illustrations reproduce carefully selected pages from rare and beautiful books. The text constitutes a running commentary on the historical and artistic significance of these specimens, which exemplify the best work of printers and type founders from Gutenberg to Bruce Rogers." "Preface to the Third Edition" by Lawrence C. Wroth. Two volumes: xlvi, 292; xix, 326 pages, 367 illustrations; 24 cm. Dust jacket edges browned, chips at tops of spines; previous owner bookplates; Very Good. Stock#ofc0595.
