Sm 4to. 26 cm. Pp. 295. Figs. Illusts, many in colour. Orig. cloth. D.w. A long-awaited book by the acknowledged expert on the subject. 'To some, typefounding may seem an unusually esoteric subject but consider that moveable type was the foundation for the success of Gutenberg's integrated process for the mass production of books using moveable letters. It was the typemould that made accurate and efficient types both possible and economical. When considering the entire subject of printing history, typefounding represents an essential element that is worthy of much more attention than it has received. Thus this book.'.
