Printing History started in 1979 as a scholarly journal published twice a year by The American Printing History Association. Printing History welcomes essays on the history of printing and book arts, regardless of country or time period, and ideally based on primary sources and illustrated. There are also book reviews at the back of many issues. Articles cover the history of printing, publishing, books, type, typography, paper and related industries.
Since 1979, it has been edited by Susan Otis Thompson, Irene Tichenor, Renee Weber, and David Pankow. The first 50 issues of the journal constitute the Original Series. Printing History New Series began in 2007 under the editorship of William S. Peterson, Professor Emeritus of English at the University of Maryland, former editor of Papers of the Bibliographical Society of America, and the author of books about the Kelmscott Press and Daniel Berkeley Updike.
This issue includes an essay entitled “Aldus, UCLA, and Me” by George Fletcher; an article entitled “The Development of Arabic-Script Typography in Georgian Britain” by Nile Green; and book reviews by Christopher Burke, Alan Bartram, Scott E. Casper, Neil Macmillan, Graham Hudson, Richard Landon, Robin Dodd, and John Buchanan-Brown.
