Richard-Gabriel Rummonds - Printing on the Iron Handpress - 1998

27,7 x 20,5 cm. xxiv, 470 pp. Original cloth with dustjacket. In fine condition.

Wake the author at three in the morning, and his first words will likely be: "Have you properly locked the skeleton?" That single-minded obsession produced what is now the undisputed standard work on iron handpress printing — a staggering achievement by any measure.

With a foreword by Harry Duncan and technical diagrams by George Laws, Rummonds's 470-page masterwork leaves nothing to chance, covering every aspect of the craft with the authority of a practitioner and the clarity of a born teacher.
