The rapid growth and development of printing from the end of the eighteenth century resulted from the same factors that caused changes in British society at large - expansion of trade, improved communications, and pressure for the propagation of ideas. Both from the design and technical standpoints, however, the changes are reflected most in ephemeral categories of printing, and it is these areas, rather than traditional book production, that Michael Twyman discusses and illustrates as he traces the development of printing in England during the allotted period." "This book has established itself as a standard work. It will be of great value to students of graphic design and experts alike; at the same time, because Michael Twyman writes with an easy fluency and seeks to avoid technical terms it will be of considerable appeal to everyone interested in printing and social history."--BOOK JACKET.
