The Printers Vocabulary: A Collection of Some 2500 Technical Terms, Phrases, Abbreviations and Other Expressions Mostly Relating to Letterpress Printing, Many of Which Have Been in Use Since the Time - Softcover
Excerpt from The Printers Vocabulary: A Collection of Some 2500 Technical Terms, Phrases, Abbreviations and Other Expressions Mostly Relating to Letterpress Printing, Many of Which Have Been in Use Since the Time of Caxton
Y little volume of last year, the printers' handbook OF trade recipes, having met with a greater success than I had anticipated, I venture to offer the accom panying work as a small addition to our literature on P'rint ing, trusting that it may be found useful for reference purposes, and especially so to those workers who are desirous of becoming acquainted with the terms, phrases, etc., used in the departments other than those they are employed in - the increasing tendency nowadays to sub division of labour making it a somewhat difficult matter to acquire the expressions of the other branches of the trade. It may also be of service to publishers, authors, and Others conneéied directly or indirectly with our craft, in making more clear the detail necessary between customer and tradesman.
I trust due allowance will be made for any possible difference of opinion in expressing the many brief defini tions here attempted - circumstances and locality some times allowing of a slightly dii'ferent construction - though, in the main, the same explanation.
