Description

Excerpt from The Annual American Catalogue, 1891: Being the Full Titles, With Descriptive Notes, of All Books Recorded in the Publishers' Weekly, 1891, With Author, Title, and Subject Index, Publishers' Annual Lists and Directory of Publishers With this issue'of the annual american catalogue we abandon the pro cess heretofore employed in preparing it for the press, and print directly from the type. We were moved to do this for several reasons, chief among them being the delay caused in publishing the Catalogue, owing to the uncertainty of clear days during the time the photographer is making ready the plates from our material. As the chief value of the catalogue lies in its prompt issue, its usefulness was seriously impaired through the circumstance alluded to. The plan of electrotyping each separate title was abandoned in 1888, after the second trial, because of the laboriousness of the work, and the insignificant saving in the cost of manufacture by that process. We shall shortly give in detail our experiences in this direction. The annual american catalogue, though by no means a paying in vestment thus far, seems to fill a want, and we have therefore determined to eschew the so-called money-saving devices and to keep the lists in type, hoping that the prompt issue of the Catalogue, and its more satisfactory typographical experience.
