Mechanick Exercises on the Whole Art of Printing: Joseph Moxons Classic Book on Printing

This edition brings new scholarship and insight to a highly sought after and long out-of-print book. Originally published in 1683, Moxon's Mechanick Exercises was the first book ever written on printing and printing types. This important book has been reprinted several times, remaining one of the most influential books in the field. Now, in this fine edition the text has been extensively annotated, updated and expanded for today's scholars and artists in the fields of the printing, lettering and graphic arts.
