For your consideration, a pristine condition copy of The Biography of Ottmar Mergenthale, part of the Oak Knoll series on the history of the book.  Perfect condition, in a dust jacket, but there is a small 2" x 1" bookplate on the inside cover for a printer in Tigard, Oregon. For the first time, Mergenthaler's autobiography is reprinted exactly as he dictated over a hundred years ago. To this has been added an 1889 article describing the first Linotype installation and the severe conditions under which the operators worked. Well-illustrated through-out, this book is a fitting tribute to the inventor who changed the face of the newspaper and publishing industries. A full size copy of the first newspaper page to carry these Linotype lines is included. Ships USPS Media Mail.
