Reprint of the 1995 Oak Knoll edition. Ronald B. McKerrow's An Introduction
to Bibliography for Literary Students has been the classic manual on
bibliography, showing how the transmission of texts might be affected by
the processes of printing, but he concentrated almost exclusively on
"Elizabethan" printing - the period from 1560 to 1660. However, in recent
years, there has been an increasing interest in the textual problems of the
18th, 19th and 20th centuries, and, although McKerrow covered the period
up to 1800, he did not describe the technology of the machine-press period.
Gaskell incorporates work done since McKerrow's day on the history of the
printing technology of the hand-press period, and he breaks new ground by
providing a general description of the printing practices of the
machine-press period. He describes the hand-printed book, press-work,
patterns of production, plates, and more. In addition, he examines
bibliographical applications, reference bibliography, and the process of book production. Little has been
previously published about the techniques and routines of nineteenth- and twentieth-century book production,
making this book essential to students of literature, scholars, printing historians, and librarians. [Order No. 42436]

intaglio, lithography, and silkscreen to photo and digital processes. The full color catalogue is in English and

A facsimile of the first newspaper page composed on a commercial Linotype. Although printed by offset
lithography, the parts composed by the Linotype can still be visibly distinguished from the hand-set type because
of a single wrong-font bold face apostrophe. This appears in only three of the stories (see Schlesinger: Ottmar
Mergenthaler, Inventor of the Linotype, pp. 113-116). [Order No. 24085]
