Publisher's Synopsis
This book consists of 37 lectures that introduce the theory and practice of presswork to an apprentice who would have entered into a longer program with the US Government Printing Office. Ocotillo Press has chosen to bring this title back into print for enthusiasts and artisans who may benefit from the content of the book. With the increasing consolidation and automation in the printing field there are fewer opportunities to acquire the knowledge needed to succeed in printing and binding as a small, independent printer.
