A DICTIONARY
of ENGRAVING
By William Henry Baker
[Logo]

An unique reference book for advertising men (both genders) who, paradoxically, are often somewhat at sea in discussing the processes of engraving; electrotyping and the related graphic arts.

Designed as a popular rather than a pedantic book—so here and there thruout it are to be found touches of “human interest” such as unconventional definitions of non-technical terms, rank candor and some cynicism, which may bite or amuse. Technical terms, however, are not monkeyed with.

Printed with some taste on laid antique paper, untrimmed, with illustrations and diagrams, bound in decorated boards, handy volume size.

“Exceedingly helpful.”—Printer’s Ink

“Even the non-professional reader will profit by having it on a convenient shelf.”—Cleveland Leader

“Remarkable for brevity and directness.”—Cleveland Press

“We have an idea it was born of the travail of spirit endured by the author (an advertising manager of wide experience) in dealing with the great crowd of craftsmen who have not overtenderly guided his copy through art department, engraver’s room, composing room, stereotyping department and pressroom.”—Detroit Times

“Very practical and indeed interesting.”—American Printer

“Has a value which can hardly be estimated.”—The Franklin Company, Chicago

“Should find a place in the library and workshop of every man whose business comes within the scope of its treatment.”—Louisville Evening Post

“A complete and thoroughly prepared work, meaty, useful and witty as well.”—N. Y. Daily Trade Record

“The most interesting volume to the allied trades since Lockwoods ‘American Dictionary of Printing and Bookmaking’”—Tony Rubovits, Chicago

“Compliment you upon its completeness and reliability.”—The H. S. Ormsbee Engraving Co., Syracuse

“Certainly interesting to anyone interested in printing.”—Dill & Collins Co., Philadelphia
