Graphic Design History from Design Reviewed

CODE(x)+1 #5: Visionaries & Fanatics: Type Design & the Private Press, Russell Maret, 2010

Information

Within the community of typographic printers the problem of identity is generally assumed to be a problem suffered by book artists, by those other people working outside of the well-defined sanctum of the Fine Press. This comfortable view overlooks a division within the letterpress community that is too often blurred and as a result is the source of my greater concern: Does the private press have a future?
