Hugh Williamson
Yale University Press / third edition / 1983 / 392 pp
This 1983 edition is the most up-to-date so it has nothing to say about many of the digital processes now used in putting books together. It remains valuable for what Williamson has to say about the processes which haven’t changed, and for its overview of vanishing and vanished crafts and technologies.
