Macrakis, Michael S. (editor) GREEK LETTERS: FROM TABLETS TO PIXELS
New Castle Oak Knoll Press 1997 small 4to. cloth, dust jacket. xxviii, 325 pages.
First edition. GREEK LETTERS follows the history and development of Greek types and printing: their role in the history of the printed word and civilization, the urgent need for quality modern fonts and the challenges faced by the current and future realm of Greek type design. These challenges inspired the Greek Font Society, formed in 1992, to promote and design quality Greek fonts for printing and use on the computer screen. These issues also spurred the Society to gather some of the most respected professionals, designers and scholars at the first International Symposium on the Contributions of the Greek Alphabet. Noted figures, including Hermann Zapf, Matthew Carter, Nicolas Barker and John A. Lane, from the fields of typography, history, book history, art, economics, technology and policy in Greece, Europe and America came to the Symposium to present papers on these issues, now contained in GREEK LETTERS. This work, profusely illustrated, not only addresses the Hellenist scholar, but also the modern writer, typographer, historian, graphic designer, printer, publisher and computer specialist.

Rehak, Theo PRACTICAL TYPECASTING
New Castle, Delaware Oak Knoll Books 1993 4to. cloth. xviii, 221 pages.
First edition. The history of practical manuals on typefounding is quite short; the dominant tradition in this craft was on-the-job training. In the 1990s, the commercial importance of making metal type declined, and large portions of this highly-developed technology are in serious jeopardy of disappearing. This work is the accumulated technical knowledge of making metal types. The author has been trained by the master-founders at the American Type Founders Company (ATF) in Elizabeth, New Jersey. Through the development of the famous Barth Automatic Casting Machine, this foundry has produced the finest, most solid and highest quality type ever made. Although some of the described techniques are based on this machine, the procedures outlined are adaptable to making superior type on other equipment. These operations have been part of the unwritten tradition at ATF for many years, and their preservation is the vehicle for their transmission to future generations. Section One covers typecasting machines and techniques and contains chapters on "The Basic Principles of Casting Type and the Hand Mold," "Pivotal Casting Machines," "Monotype Display Machines," "The Thompson Caster" and "The Foundry Automatics." Section Two deals with the "service crafts" and contains chapters on "Finishing Type," "Maintenance of Equipment," "Matrix Engineering," "The Benton Engraver," "The Gorton Engraver," "Electros," "Making Matrices from Type" and "Design Guidelines." Illustrated in black-and-white, this book also includes appendices, a glossary, a select bibliography and an index.
