VOICES OF SCOTLAND: A CATALOGUE OF AN EXHIBITION OF SCOTTISH BOOKS AND MANUSCRIPTS FROM THE 15TH TO THE 20TH CENTURIES
Saint Germain, Janet
This catalogue comes from an exhibition of Scottish books and manuscripts from the fifteenth to the twentieth centuries. While the Grolier Club had featured many exhibitions on Irish and English literature, there had been no comprehensive showing of Scottish literature which occupies a large holding at the Grolier Club. With more than 130 items described, the catalogue demonstrates the breadth and vitality of the Scottish achievement in lyric poetry, fiction, and historical and philosophical writings that were written or published during five centuries. The catalogue is organized chronologically by author. Some authors include George Wishart, Allan Ramsay, David Hume, Hugh Blair, Adam Smith, and James Boswell. It contains three illustrations.

PRAKTISCHER LEITFADEN FÜR BUNTBUCHDRUCK.
by Müller, J. and M. Dethleffs
A book meant to give "those printers and pressmen who have little opportunity for on-the-job training in this branch [i.e. color printing] a way of doing all color printing, of whatever sort, effectively and with full assurance of a good result, and of mixing colors for the work at hand correctly and efficiently" (pp.vii-viii). A brief chapter on the theory of color is followed by chapters on color jobbing printing, printing of multicolored illustrations, and halftone three- and four-color printing. Following this is an explanation of the color tables and then the tables: thirty-three tables of color samples composed and arranged by various methods, four plates of the same picture in different color combinations, and several examples of monochromatic halftone illustration. Tables 1-3 display seventy-two standard colors. Tables 4-33 form a coherent set of colors and color combinations using inks supplied by Berger & Wirth. There are about 600 colors presented in related groups in finely nuanced sequences, including various degrees of gloss. Inks or mixtures used are identified for each color. Each color sample also appears in three degrees of brightness: the solid color, the color in thick parallel lines alternating with thin white lines (imitating dark halftone), and the color in thin lines alternating with white (light halftone), making 1,800 color possibilities in all! A bright copy. An eight page brochure which is supposed to be in a pocket in the back is not present. Remnant of paper label at bottom of spine. Preliminary pages foxed.
