  Southall, Richard PRINTER'S TYPE IN THE TWENTIETH CENTURY.
New Castle and London Oak Knoll Press and The British Library 2005 8vo. cloth, dust jacket 256 pages.
First edition. The last years of the nineteenth century saw the final stages in the transition of type manufacture from a craft to an industrial process, and the first appearance of complex mechanical systems for the composition of text. A hundred years later, text composition used only the simple mechanisms inside laser printers and image-setters, and type manufacture was well on the way to becoming a craft process once again; though now with computer displays and software replacing steel punches and copper matrices.
Printer's Type in the Twentieth Century traces the evolution of type manufacture and design from hand punch-cutting through hot-metal and photographic composition to laser image-setting and the PostScript revolution. The book takes a theoretical view of its topic, rather than a simple narrative approach. It is intended for readers interested in recent typographic history, and the relationships between design methods and production technologies in type manufacture.
Richard Southall has been involved with type and typography since the early 1960s; in publishing, composing-machine manufacture and development, teaching, research and consultancy. All enthusiasts of typography and its fascinating history will enjoy this important work. Contains 150 illustrations. Slightly bumped with small tears in jacket along edge.

  Steinberg, S.H. FIVE HUNDRED YEARS OF PRINTING.
New edition, revised by John Trevitt. London & New Castle, Delaware Oak Knoll Press & The British Library 1996 8vo. cloth, dust jacket. 272 pages.
New edition, entirely re-set and containing over one hundred new illustrations. FIVE HUNDRED YEARS OF PRINTING describes the pivotal role that printing has played in the development of human civilization. This work covers the history of printing with movable types through several periods. Steinberg begins with the creative century (1450-1550) which witnessed the invention and beginnings of practically every single feature that characterizes the modern printing piece. An era of consolidation (1550-1800) then followed and refined achievements of the preceding period. The 19th-century experienced an era of mechanization, beginning with the invention of lithography and ending with Morris's rediscovery of the Middle Ages and the heyday of the private presses. This and the inception of paperbacks preceded the post-war world, which saw the fields of typesetting, printing and publishing turned upside down.
FIVE HUNDRED YEARS also traces the close relationship between printing and culture over many years and also discusses topics like censorship, bestsellers, popular series, and the connection between printing and education, language and literature. Now available again in a larger, finely-illustrated format, Oak Knoll Press's edition, revised and updated by John Trevitt, draws on the collections and curatorial expertise of the British Library. This new edition takes into account the huge technological changes that the printing industry has experienced in the last two decades. Page 260/261 was folded when printed and has text at an angle.
