Excerpt from Library Printing Thus 10 point on 12 point body will produce the same effect as 10 point with 1 point leads. Styles (or faces) of types are variously classified. A convenient, though not strictly accurate division is: (1) script, (2) roman (both old style and (3) italics, and (4) ornamental or display. The first and fourth classes are seldom appropriate for library use ex cept for title pages, headings, book plates or material in tended primarily for purposes of publicity. Roman, the type ordinarily used in English and Ameri can books, is understood unless other styles are partien larly indicated, (e. G. The direction 12 point heads means Print headings in 12 point Old-style roman is a direct imitation of the sturdy type designed by William Caslon on Jenson's earlier models and used in English and American books in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Its letters have heavier and less angular lines than the modern roman based on styles designed by Bodoni and others. Modern roman was very commonly used in England and America till the last decade of the nineteenth century. At present old style or Caslon and similar styles are the most com mouly used types for general purposes. Several styles in common use are modifications of old style, e. G.. Cheltenham, Kenilworth (which closely resembles Chelten ham) and Scotch Roman. Each of these has its correspond ing italic face. Modern roman is still rather frequently used and its prototype, Bodoni, is coming to be used again frequently for special publications in fine arts and belles lettres and, in its larger sizes, for museum labels. When heavier faces are desired Bookman (or Old Style Antique), Cloister Black, Caslon Bold and Cheltenham Bold are good faces for library work.

Book Description
Excerpt from Printing for Profit In these days this would be called the psychological side of printing, but to me it was simply plain common sense. Good paper, clear type, neat arrangement, sharp impression and full count are only details lead ing to an end, and if that end is lost sight of the most beautiful specimen of art printing may be a failure. The printed program for a concert is obviously wasted if delivered when the concert is half over, and while the manufacturer's need for a catalog may be less specifically tied to a day and hour, yet he may be a much greater loser by delay; hence it is apparent that delivery on time is quite as important as delivery of good quality of workmanship. It is not expected that the mere reading of these pages will enable a printer to turn a loss into a profit; the work is not published with any promise of serving as an infallible guide to success. The purpose is sim ply to record some of the principles and experiences which enabled the writer to build up a large business from the smallest sort of beginning.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Art and Craft of Printing Except in the case of Blunt's Love Lyrics, The Nature of Gothic, Biblia Innocentium, The Golden Legend, and The Book of Wisdom and Lies, a few copies of all the books were printed on vellum. The six copies of The Glittering Plain were printed on very fine vellum obtained from Rome, of which it was impossible to get a second supply as it was all required by the Vatican. The vellum for the other books, except for two or three copies of Poems by the Way, which were on the Roman vellum, was supplied by H. Band of Brentford, and by W. J. Turney Co. Of Stourbridge. There are three complete vellum sets in existence, and the extreme difficulty of completing a set after the copies are scattered, makes it unlikely that there will ever be a fourth. The black ink which proved most satisfactory, after that of more than one English firm had been tried, was obtained from Hanover. William Morris often spoke of making his own ink, in order to be certain of the ingredients, but his intention was never carried out.

Excerpt from Harvard College Library Remnisonnces of the very enjoyable visit I paid your interesting but little known part of the world, enhanced as it was by the pleasure of your society, led me from thoughts to notes - from notes to more extended manuscript - from manuscript to print - and from print!
