From presses similar to Gutenberg's wine press to the mechanical marvels of the 1890s, this visually remarkable work contains the largest collection of printing equipment illustrations and advertisements to date. A careful study of the more than 480 rare woodcuts and engravings of Hand, Cylinder, Platen, Lever, Lithographic, and Rotary presses will reveal the subtle and major changes each manufacturer made to enhance his machine's productivity and printing quality. Never before has the printing or publishing historian had such a comprehensive resource at his disposal. This work truly captures the engineering technology of a bygone age. The author has spent 30 years gathering and compiling this information, a true labor of love. This second, expanded edition has over 150 new illustrations. 272 pages. hardcover, dust jacket. 9 x 12 inches.
