Black Swan Books is TEMPORARILY closed in the aftermath of a “water event” in an adjacent building.
We expect that we will be down through March and hope to resume sending our weekly e-catalogues in April. At that time we will be open “by appointment only”. Until then our books will not be for sale. In the meantime, you can contact us by email at nick@blackswanbooks.com.

SPECIMENS OF BORDERS AND ORNAMENTS CUTS AND BRASS RULES. ILLUSTRATED CATALOGUE AND PRICE LIST OF PRINTING MATERIAL PRINTERS SUPPLIES
American Type Founders Company, [c. 1905].
A substantial trade catalog which runs the gamut on turn of the century printers supplies; illustrated with hundreds of cuts of everything from newspaper borders, sectional calendars; index cuts; imposing tables; bookbinders’ wire; and much more. ~The pagination is odd (and appears to be odd in all copies). Pages 75a-b added; 169-200 omitted in pagination; an unnumbered leaf (pp. 199-200) precedes p. 201. In the publisher’s green cloth, with titling faded away to nothing. Still, a sturdy and serviceable copy of interest to anyone studying early 20th century job printing.
Very Good binding.
