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.
