Well illustrated in the second part of the book. CONDITION NOTES: VERY GOOD. FINE except for a small pen mark on front flypage (price mark) and a bumped corner. Wear to complete caps. Tiny spot to front cover. Pages fresh and clean without marks, creases, or tears. BINDING: Full brick red, title tooled in black on front, vignette of a steam press on front, and title tooled in gilt on spine..Written by Putnam family authors: Something of a "how-to" book for writers interested in how it's done in 1888 New York publishing. The first half of the book discusses much of the business of getting published, copyrights, and business of book publishing. The second half is focused on the press and discusses paper, fonts, illustrations, etc. An excellent original source for investigating late 19th century publishing, as it is a self-described tour the industry..The second half of the book would exceed expectations for teaching a well needed course in 19th/20th century descriptive bibliography.
