A Legacy of Metal Types (Workshop Press): pictorial review

For fans of the inky-fingered.

That must have been an impressive type collection!

>2 Another_Bibliomane: Indeed! I'm not aware of a comprehensive listing of the types, but Mark Arman did produce (in A Specimen of Printers' Flowers, Types and Decorations) a specimen of the fleurons in his collection, which ran to ca.370 distinct designs.

That Mural is gorgeous.

>1 duncjl: are those two papers noted on the colophon in the same edition?

>5 LT79-1: Yes, the former is for the text pages, and the broadsides are printed on the Abbey Mills.

>6 duncjl: thanks, it's a very nice looking book and seems modestly priced too.
