Excerpt from Pens and Types: Or, Hints and Helps for Those Who Write, Print, or Read
As man measures man the world over, so it may be presumed that the experience of a laborer in any one department of literature, will, in the general, tally with that of all others occu pying a similar position. This volume gives the results of a proof-reader's experience, and such suggestions derived therefrom as may, he hopes, be useful to all who prepare reading-matter for the press, to all who assist in printing and pub lishing it, and, finally, to the reading public.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the ways the lives, and very identities, of proofreaders from the mid-19th century onwards were shaped by the written word, their craft, and the writers whose work passed through their hands. The author reveals the often-unseen hand of these guardians of the written word and illustrates how, in a pre-digital age, they played a vital role not only in ensuring accuracy but also in preserving the nuances and meanings that might otherwise have been lost. Their careful work has influenced everything from the way our language is structured to how we perceive the written word. Delving into the daily lives of largely forgotten editors, proofreaders, and compositors, this book contributes to the growing field of book history and sheds light on the fascinating process of preparing books for publication during an age of immense social and technological change. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781333637231_0
