Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Daniel Berkeley Updike has been described as the most distinguished American printer. He was one of a handful of of the 20th century's most successful and influential book designers. The Well-Made Book is a collection of virtually all of Updike's writings on the art of the book. Much of this timeless material has been hard to find, and some appears here for the first time. Complete with index, annotations and an extensive new introduction.
