Condition Report: Near Fine volumes in Very Good dust jackets. The navy blue cloth boards are exceptionally bright and clean completely free from bumping or shelf-wear with the gilt tooling to the spines remaining remarkably sharp and unoxidized. The bindings are tight square and structurally sound. The text blocks display some uniform age-toning to the untrimmed page edges which is typical of the paper stock but internally the pages are crisp bright and free from significant blemishes. The original dust jackets show some expected tanning and scattered foxing most prominently to the interior flaps alongside minor rubbing and superficial chipping to the extreme head and tail of the spine panels yet they remain highly attractive and structurally whole. Catalogue Note: This is a handsome Second Edition Second Printing of Updike’s masterful typographic reference work originally published by Harvard University Press and distributed in the United Kingdom by Geoffrey Cumberlege for the Oxford University Press. As noted in the bibliographical history this edition was corrected and expanded with new material following its initial 1922 release. The volumes are densely illustrated with hundreds of high-quality facsimiles showcasing historical typefaces title pages and printing specimens. Complete two-volume sets retaining their original dust jackets are notably uncommon on the open market as these working reference books were typically subjected to heavy institutional or studio use. This set is particularly desirable as it retains the unclipped dust jacket flaps preserving the original '63s. net' pricing and bears a simple factual previous ownership signature to the front endpaper. First published in 1922 and based on a celebrated series of lectures delivered at Harvard University Daniel Berkeley Updike’s Printing Types remains one of the most authoritative and comprehensive studies of typographic history ever produced. Spanning the incunabula period through to the revivalist typographic movements of the early twentieth century Updike meticulously chronicles the evolution of printing and type design across Europe and America. Richly illustrated and rigorously researched this monumental two-volume work serves as an essential cornerstone for the library of any bookbinder typographer or serious bibliophile.
