About This Book

This primer traces the development of printing in England from its fifteenth-century beginnings through industrial and stylistic changes into the modern era. It follows early pioneers such as William Caxton, examines regulatory and commercial frameworks including the Company of Stationers, and surveys printers whose work shaped book production, notably John Day and the Whittinghams. Chapters outline technological, legal, and trade developments, and offer a concise chronological account accessible to non-specialists. A short bibliography and review questions support further study.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT

This series of Typographic Text-books is the result of the splendid cooperation of a large number of firms and individuals engaged in the printing business and its allied industries in the United States of America.

The Committee on Education of the United Typothetae of America, under whose auspices the books have been prepared and published, acknowledges its indebtedness for the generous assistance rendered by the many authors, printers, and others identified with this work.

While due acknowledgment is made on the title and copyright pages of those contributing to each book, the Committee nevertheless felt that a group list of co-operating firms would be of interest.

The following list is not complete, as it includes only those who have co-operated in the production of a portion of the volumes, constituting the first printing. As soon as the entire list of books comprising the Typographic Technical Series has been completed (which the Committee hopes will be at an early date), the full list will be printed in each volume.

The Committee also desires to acknowledge its indebtedness to the many subscribers to this Series who have patiently awaited its publication.
