THE “MANUALI TIPOGRAFICI” SERIES

Each volume of the set include essays by researchers and scholars about the different aspects of book design (types, formats, pagination, papers, inks), each illustrated through original specimens which are classified by epoch and provenance.

Each volume is unique, since the original specimens which are included within vary from one copy to another.
