Excerpt from Library Printing<br/><br/>Printing, as related to library work generally concerns other printed material acquired by but not published for the individual library; (2) library printing, i. E. Printed matter produced expressly for a specific li brery. In the first instance, a librarian must be able to pass intelligent judgment on type, paper, presswork and illustration in order to provide books which are legible, artistically pleasing and not unreasonable in price. The individual librarian is limited to what publishers will fur nish him. A large number of librarians with cultivated taste may be able to provide a large enough market for a book to induce the publisher to meet their wishes as far as he can. The supply of good editions is, therefore, directly dependent on the number of librarians who know enough about good printing to recognize and demand good editions. In the case of printed matter issued by the library the responsibility usually lies in great part with the librarian. Unless he is hampered by a law or ordinance which places the control of his printing with a state or city printer or a local board of control, he can usually get the kind of work he wants within the limits imposed by the funds available.
