About This Item

Wyman & Sons, London, first edition, 1884. Cloth, cover rules and gilt-title, edges red, 8vo, 26 cm,. viii, 98, [1] pp, 12 pp publisher's ads, ills. This work is intended chiefly for those who for the first time are about to commit their literary productions to the Press, and who are unacquainted with the prevailing practice in regard to Printing and Publication...It was thought that a rudimentary handbook, giving just those particulars concerning Paper, Printing, Binding, and Publishing, the Preparation of 'Copy', the Correction of Proofs, the Embellishment and Illustration of Books, and the Relations of Publishers and their Clients - all in short, with which an Author requires to be acquainted - would be useful, and supply a want that has often found expression. With this view Publishers have endeavoured to touch upon every point that is likely to arise between the period of the preparation of the manuscript for the press and the actual publication of the book, presenting at the same time a concise but accurate account of the mechanical details of Printing. To render this work more complete, there have been added some notes on Advertising, Reviewing, and the Law of Copyright, .. together with an Appendix containing Bibliographical Indications useful to Authors." - from the preface. Near Very Good.
