Made obsolete by modern printing and the net, mine is the 1976 edition.

This book is the perfect guide to help guide you in Graphic arts projects, freelance work and just as an overall resource when you can't remember terms. I used it for two years in University and still have it!

Read this for work

Honestly a pretty interesting overview of the history of printing techniques and some ‘current ones’. Since my edition was from 2007 it was very outdated tho lol

This book literally is The Pocket Pal. It's super small but has EVERYTHING you need for graphic arts/ printing easily laid out for you. It's an easy read, and easy to use resource! It's the printing bible. :) LOL

Great all-in-one resource for anyone interested in the the printing process, though make sure you read one that's up to date! Mine was from the 80s, so let's just say some of the "future predictions" were both humorous and already a reality.

My graphic arts career hinged on having this book handy.

This should be standard issue for everyone in book production. I'll gladly lend... once I finish

If you work in graphics or print and don't own this it's a wonder how you function.
