In this wonderful volume of The Library of Living and Working in Colonial Times, author Kathy Wilmore outlines the working life of the printer, including a bookstore and post ofice, the tools of the trade, etc. The work was hard and very slow compared to the modern printing industry. Hard work in colonial times might only produce 200 copies in an hour! The book lists web sites for extra study and a glossary. Recommended!
