Theodore l.. De Winnie than whom no one in
this country is better qualified to speak on the
subject, has this interesting note on the recent
changes in the printing Of fine books:
"Nster many years Of neglect plain and bold
types are again in favor. The old-Style faces,
revived by Nottingham and Pickering. have
been followed by the Golden, the Chaucer, and
the Troy types Of William Norris The Cush-
