Book Description

Excerpt from Bernard Shaw on Modern Typography: Reprinted From the Magazine London Like most authors, I am so greatly indebted to the printer, and the printer's reader, for their work and help in the production of my books, that 1 cannot point out their shortcomings without feeling some stings of conscience for my ingratitude. Besides, an author is not a fair judge of a printer, because the author himself usually spoils the printer's work. This arises from the fact that the main difference between a well'printed page and an ill printed one lies in the evenness of the block of colour presented by the letterpress.
