"This little book is a sequel to "Practical Printing"--an amplification of those parts of it which deal with ornamental printing. For very few of the methods and recipes given does the author claim any originality. He is indebted to writers in the leading American and German typographical serials for most of the matter here presented ... The compiler desires, however, to express his special obligations to several publications. These are: The 'American Art Printer', published by Mr. C. E. Bartholomew, New York; 'Paper and Press', by Mr. Wm. M. Patton, Philadelphia; the 'Artist Printer', of Chicago; the 'Superior Printer', of Cincinnati; and the 'Archiv für Buchdruckerkunst', of Leipzig. From these and other sources have been obtained information contributed by such eminent printers as Theo. L. De Vinne, S. Reed Johnson, Anton Halauska, Andrew V. Haight, W. J. Kelly, and Alexander Waldow."--Preface.
