Caslon Old Face Roman and Italic; hand printed and bound by the author; a very fine copy indeed. ¶ In the Preface the author says : " The purpose of this book is to illustrate and use different type faces….it is a book concerned with styles of printing and design which are no longer popular; it is a book which owes its very existence to the author's delight in printing, type, layout and design." And it is indeed a delight to dip into this book where every process is perfect - a joy to behold.
