'Printing for Pleasure' justifies its name. It begins with wise words about the all-important 'attitude' of the practicing amateur towards his little art, his handicraft; and later it refreshed and develops this right attitude, of respectful pleasure, of adventure, of creation, by what I shall punningly allow myself to call case-histories. But physically also it is no less practical--as you may judge from the early consideration that it gives to the question, 'How much space shall I need?'...Materials, equipment, cost are examined. History is invoked. Experiment is demonstrated."-- from foreword by Sir Francis Meynell.
