(Bradley, Will H.) Bambace, Tony WILL H. BRADLEY: HIS WORK, A BIBLIOGRAPHICAL GUIDE.
Accompanied by an original copy of BRADLEY HIS BOOK. New Castle, Delaware and Boston, Massachusetts Oak Knoll Press and Thomas G. Boss Fine Books 1995 8vo. quarter leather with paste paper over boards, leather spine label. Booklet is stiff paper wrappers held in porfolio. Both inserted in a cloth-covered clamshell box. xxiii, 216 pages.
First edition. One of 44 special signed and numbered copies. Will H. Bradley (1868-1962) is widely regarded as one of the masters of design during the Art Nouveau and Arts & Crafts periods. His typographic and illustrative work pushed the boundaries of these fields into new directions. In addition, his re-introduction and use of Caslon type brought it back into popularity. The guide includes 261 illustrations, including his designer's marks to help identify his pieces. The guide includes a Book Work section containing three parts: one of 81 definite books of Bradley's own execution, one listing those exhibiting the Bradley stamp but with no confirming documentation, and one listing those using his designs but were probably not produced by him. The remaining sections document magazine covers, advertisements, illustrations, posters, and other works.

Janssen, Frans A. TECHNIQUE & DESIGN IN THE HISTORY OF PRINTING.
`t Goy-Houten HES & DE GRAAF 2004 7 x 9.75 inches hardcover, dust jacket 380 pages
Containing 26 selected and thoroughly rewritten essays and articles (all written by Janssen and published previously between 1976 and 2002 in yearbooks and periodicals) all dedicated to the history of printing and book production, this work draws systematically attention to the typographical design of the book. The articles are mainly divided into two fields of attention: the analytical bibliography of the printed book (book production, studies of the technical aspects of type-setting and printing, type founding, printing presses, paper etc.) and the typographical design of books (its functions and its influence on how texts are read). With illustrations. Cover design, typography, and lay-out by Bram de Does.
