Reprint of the first edition with an added appendix.

Oak Knoll's edition has been updated and amended by the well-known printing historian, Stephen O. Saxe. He has added eight appendixes to the book, as well as a four-page introduction and a biographical sketch of the author. In addition, one new type foundry, Abraham Riggs of New York City, has been discovered and is described in a separate appendix. There are also listings of the complete type specimen holdings of the New York Public Library, the Smithsonian Institution and Stephen O. Saxe's personal collection. The appendixes conclude with a list of errata, omissions and duplications in the first edition; and a select bibliography.

See More... (ATF) PHOTOGRAPHIC VIEWS OF CENTRAL PLANT AMERICAN TYPE FOUNDERS COMPANY
Largest Type Foundry in the World N.P. n.p. 2002 oblong 4to stiff paper wrappers not paginated
This is a facsimile edition prepared as a Keepsake for the 2002 American Typecasting Fellowship Conference in Provo Utah and for the Typophiles for their September 2002 meeting. There is no date for the original, but it was likely published around 1912 because the pictures are very similar to those found in the introductory pages of the 1912 ATF Specimen Book. Theo Rehak, proprietor of the Dale Guild Type Foundry, discovered the original copy of the extremely rare booklet, carelessly discarded, while he was working as an employee of the foundry.
