Annotations: Good introduction to the machine bookbinding of the period with excellent photographs of 40's equipment.¶Mason's trade- focussed books for Pitman were heavily recycled, sometimes being rewritten in prose though not changed in meaning, sometimes merely being broken into separate chapters and published piecemeal. This seems to be an example of the latter.
