"The two parts of this book are offprints of articles published in the Swiss Typographic Magazine (STM)... Already in 1994, a book on the handprinted books from 1984 to 1991 was produced.  At the time, the imprint stated an edition of 300 numbered copies. However, because of financial reasons, only 200 were bound.  A total of 300 were printed, so 100 remained unbound.  From these, 60 copies (number 211-270) were used for this book."--preliminary pages.
