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.
