• "This book jumped up out of the notes I was making for a short course in letterpress printing ... All the plates and all the explanatory texts try to illustrate a different approach to either color, image or word ... I tried to find as many specimens of Garamond as I could and print them all ... in fourteen point ... Each section is the result of laminating three different papers together to form the folio. I have indicated the type and paper in each case."--Pref.
• "The text paper ... is ... Zerkall and ... the folios were laminated with a drymounting press ... I would like to thank ... Service Typographers ... I was assisted as well by the superb typesetting of Brian Molanphy, by ... Sally Hegarty, and by ...Lucy Brank and Bridghe McCracken press-side and ... Alexandra Kennaugh in the bindery"--Colophon.
