Description:
Van Gendt & Co., Amsterdam, first edition, 1970 [ but actually 1971 ]. Cloth, 4to, 31 cm,. xi, 491 pp, ills, (2 folding). A collection of 40 essays, the majority concerned with aspects of Johnson's special interest : the history of books and printing in the 16th century. "[Johnson was] first and foremost a bibliographer who happened at the same time to be a historian of typography: of printing and typefounding. He was an early recruit to the company of Daniel B. Updike, Stanley Morison, and others who took the initiative in exploring the history of printing in a new way, by looking at type faces as well as at the printers who used them. A relatively small part of Johnson's studies has gone into books, though no type historian or bibliographer could have done without his Type Designs or his Encyclopedia of Typefaces (jointly with Turner Berry and Jaspert), to name only two.

Description:
Amsterdam: Van Gendt & Co., 1970. BRAND NEW in a BRAND NEW dust jacket. PERFECT CONDITION. Still housed in the publisher's cardboard shipping carton. NO chips. NO tears. NO creases. NO rubbing. NO fading. Sharp corners. Fresh, crisp, clean and unmarked - obviously never read. 1970 [but actually 1971]. First Edition. Illustrations (2 folding). Johnson spent all of his working life in the Department of Printed Books at the British Museum, where he enjoyed exceptional opportunities for research. However, most of his work is hard to find today because it originally appeared in specialized periodicals. Forty of these articles are reprinted here, e.g. Geofroy Tory; On Re-reading Updike; English Type Specimen Books; Italian Sixteenth-Century Books; The King's Printers, 1660-1742; English Typography in the Seventeenth Century; 19th Century Typefounders and Mechanical Inventions. Beautifully printed at the Stamperia Valdonega, Verona, Italy. Oversize Hardcover. 9" wide by…
