Van Gendt & Co., Amsterdam, first edition, Date: 1970 [ but actually 1971 ]. Cloth, 4to, 31 cm,. xi, 491 pp, ills, (2 folding). A collection of 40 essays, the majority concerned with aspects of Johnson's special interest : the history of books and printing in the 16th century. "[Johnson was] first and foremost a bibliographer who happened at the same time to be a historian of typography: of printing and typefounding. He was an early recruit to the company of Daniel B. Updike, Stanley Morison, and others who took the initiative in exploring the history of printing in a new way, by looking at type faces as well as at the printers who used them. A relatively small part of Johnson's studies has gone into books, though no type historian or bibliographer could have done without his Type Designs or his Encyclopedia of Typefaces (jointly with Turner Berry and Jaspert), to name only two. But many of his writings were published in periodicals, yearbooks, and the like that are now hard to come by." - from the introduction. The contents include: Introduction, by Percy H.
