First edition. Lovely assemblage of this publication from the the Times-Mirror Printing and Binding house, being the official organ of the company. The Mirror Printing and Binding House was formed in 1873 and purchased the Los Angeles Times, which it printed, in 1984. Harry Chandler ran theLos Angeles Timesfrom 1917-1944. Produced in a beautiful art deco style,Three Minutesprinted various blurbs and shorts about the printing trade, prominent businessmen, designers and printers (such as Goudy), events in the city of Los Angeles, and more. Master printer, Harry S. Stuff was editor at the time, wrote most of the articles, and oversaw the design. The publication acted as a marketing tool, showcasing the company's abilities in various aspects of commercial and fine printing from illustration to typography. Included are: July, Sept-Nov. 1924 Oct., 1926 Feb-Aug, Oct. 1927 Jan, Jul, Oct., 1928 Feb, Mar., 1929 Mar, Jun, Jul., 1930 Feb, Spring, May, Autumn, Nov. 1932 Interestingly, OCLC cites only 7 holdings for any issues along with several for the Franklin Keepsake numbers from 1933 and 34. We find these also to be scarce in the trade. 26 issues, generally 9.25x6.25" and [16]pp. Each staple bound in colorful and sometimes illustrated card wrappers with yapped edges. Some with tipped in color illustrations, some printed in two or more colors on various papers in various types, with ornaments, devices, head and tailpieces, etc. throughout. Generally very good or better with occasional light edge chipping and rubbing, some toning. The July 1927 issue good only with heavier chipping and reattached wrappers.
