<p>From Wikipedia: The methods used for the printing and binding of books continued fundamentally unchanged from the 15th century into the early years of the 20th century. While there was of course more mechanization, Gutenberg would have had no difficulty in understanding what was going on if he had visited a book printer in 1900. ~~~ Gutenberg's invention was the use of movable metal types, assembled into words, lines, and pages and then printed by letterpress. In letterpress printing ink is spread onto the tops of raised metal type, and is transferred onto a sheet of paper which is pressed against the type. Sheet-fed letterpress printing is still available but tends to be used for collector's books and is now more of an art form than a commercial technique (see Letterpress). ~~~ Modern paper books are printed on papers which are designed specifically for the publication of printed books. Traditionally, book papers are off white or low white papers (easier to read), are opaque to minimi</p>

The Book - The Story of Printing & Bookmaking

Old Hand Books

Reprint of the 1891 edition (London). Hardbound. Cloth. Oversized.pp.xxviii. 289. This important biliography is a primary reference on Falconry. In all 378 early books in nineteen languages are described in detail. It was the first substantial bibliography on the subject and remains to this day one of the few references ever published. Harting spent twenty years collecting books, an experience he put to good use in compiling this bibliography. Most books he had either procured, seen or examined. The arrangement of the book is by language, then by author. The descriptions are very thorough, providing full author, title, and very useful and detailed annotations about each book. Harting also lists all the editions of the various titles. The bibliography is also illustrated with black and white illustrations. Though once reprinted, no edition is currently available.
