NO fading. Square and tight. Fresh, crisp, clean, and unmarked -- apparently never read. Limited to 1,950 numbered copies. SIGNED by the EDITOR, Marcus A. McCorison. With an original leaf from the first edition of 1810 tipped-in. Expertly edited by Marcus McCorison from the 1874 2nd revised edition, with his informative notes. Well designed and printed from type at the Stinehour Press. 1970. First Edition Thus. This Imprint Society edition is a much, much more attractive and better-made book than the cheap Weathervane reprint. From the editor's Preface: "There are very few books of a historical nature which deserve republication after 160 years of existence. Isiah Thomas's HISTORY OF PRINTING IN AMERICA is one of them. His book is still the beginning point for most investigations into the history of American printing, for he provides the tantalizing clues for which his successors have built their own studies. Further, his personal knowledge of many of the people and events which he describes in a frank and unadorned manner makes excellent and often amusing reading." Bound in the original blue cloth, stamped in bright gold on the spine. Complete with original tan slipcase on which is mounted a facsimile of the 1810 first edition's title page. 6.75" wide by 10.25" tall by 2.5" thick. Chalmers 155.. SIGNED by the EDITOR. First Edition Thus. Hardcover. Fine condition/Fine slipcase. xxii, 651pp. Great Packaging, Fast Shipping.

Description:
Imprint Society, Barre, MA, 1970. Limited Edition. Hard Cover. Collectible - Very Good/None as Issued. Book Signed by Editor. VG- HB with no slipcase. Limited Ed., #937 of 1,950. Signed letterhead card from McCorison presenting this copy with the note "Glad you like the book" pasted onto FEP. That plus nice selection of the leaf from the 1810 First Edition tipped in--the start of the history of Revolutionary-era publisher John Holt of the "Newyork Journal" (pp. 150-151)--makes this a desirable copy. However, it is marred by the fact the binding is broken (webbing visible, though still holding) at the half-title page. Size: Octavo (8vo; up to 9 3/4" / 20-25 cm tall). 650 pages. Item Type: Book. Quantity Available: 1. Category: History; United States / Revolutionary Period (1775-1800); United States; 1970s; Communications & Media. Signed by Editor. ISBN: 0876360096. ISBN/EAN: 9780876360095.
