printing" -- newly reissued

GENERAL PRINTING
An illustrated guide to letterpress printing, with hundreds of
step-by-step photos
By Glen U. Cleeton & Charles W. Pitkin

"This manual is profusely illustrated with detailed and useful
photographs and should occupy a prominent place on the shelf of every
letterpress printer. It will serve as the next best thing to an
apprenticeship at the feet of a master printer." --David S. Rose

General Printing is a comprehensive guide to letterpress printing. With
300 photos and 140 illustrations, it offers detailed step-by-step visual
instruction.

1963 edition. Topics include:

    * Handsetting type
    * Taking proofs
    * Locking up forms
    * Make-ready
    * Feeding the press
    * Tricks of the trade
    * and much more
