Excerpt from Specimens of Book Types and of Printing and Bookbinding

HE Press Room of the norwood press is one of the largest in the country, having a capacity exceeding that of Fifty Cylinder Presses. It is furnished with the best makes of modern presses, including Stop-cylinder, Two-revolu tion, Flat-bed Perfecting, Adams, and Job Presses, and is sufficiently extensive to enable us to print large editions in the least possible time. Every description of Book or Catalogue Printing is in our line, although we make the finer classes of illustrated work the feature of our business, and a few specimens are shown in this volume. We have printed in the past year volumes, ranging in size from mm, 100 to 1600 pages each, in editions of 250 to copies, or an equivalent of volumes daily, which used about 8 tons of paper per day. We now store in our vault about boxes of plates, and have storage capacity for twice that number.

The Text of this Specimen Book is not printed from type, on extra paper; but from electrotype plates, on ordinary paper, and with our regular book ink, to show the results to be obtained in the average book.
