Thomas, Isaiah.
HISTORY OF PRINTING IN AMERICA; WITH A BIOGRAPHY OF PRINTERS & AN ACCOUNT OF NEWSPAPERS.
pp. xxi, 650 + Frontis. Thick 8vo. Original full cloth binding. Dust jacket; yellowed st the spine and soiled. Hardbound. Very good. Based on the famous 2nd edition (1874), and newly edited by Marcus McCorison, this is really a wonderful book for any fan of early American Printing. From the DJ: "There are very few books of a historical nature which deserve republication after 160 years of existence. Isaiah Thomass History of Printing in America is one of them. His book is still the beginning point for most investigations into the history of American printing, for he provides the tantalizing clues from which his successors have built there own studies. Further, his personal knowledge of many of the people and events which he describes in a frank and unadorned manner makes excellent and often amusing reading. The History of Printing in America retains the essential beginnings which lead the reader into fascinating byways of American history and the craft which in such large measure perpetuated it." PA53
