Excerpts

The Daniel Books of this category are agreeable and acceptable. They have their niche but they are printing confectionery: Sally Lunns and Maids of Honour, born again and born different. Great printing, even when it is gay printing, is always austere, because, although a craft in itself, print is not a thing in itself like a picture, it is a bridge between creator and assimilator, between author and reader. It is primarily a means of traffic between these two, and at its best it should do everything to induce and nothing to impede that traffic. Graciousness, friendliness, dignity should be there, but always unobtrusively. Self-effacement is the etiquette of good printing.
