Everyone interested in the progress of the graphic arts in America
will welcome this authoritative list of the books printed at one of
the most famous modern presses. Julian Smith's collection, on which
the list is based, is the work of many years and is practically
complete. Daniel Updike's account of the beginning and development
of the Merrymount Press not only supplies a background for the list
but answers many of the questions that must have occurred to
readers of his earlier volumes.

In his comprehensive study of types from the earliest times to the
twentieth century, Daniel Berkeley Updike, founder of the famous
Merrymount Press of Boston, traces the sequence of development in
typography and discusses the relative importance of each period and
the lesson that it holds for the modern printer. The 367
illustrations reproduce carefully selected pages from rare and
beautiful books. The text constitutes a running commentary on the
historical and artistic significance of these specimens, which
exemplify the best work of printers and type founders from
Gutenberg to Bruce Rogers. The closing chapters on choice of type
and on the industrial conditions of the past and their relationship
to the problem of printers today are particularly valuable.
Printing Types is the master work of a master printer, collecting
in two volumes a wealth of material once scattered through widely
diverse sources. Everyone interested in the graphic arts will
welcome the reissue of this classic on the art of printing.
