(Preface) 'The other function of Penrose is to record activity on the long frontiers where questions of printing and graphic design interact with those of wider cultural significance. This year's volume again demonstrates these parallel purposes. Its 31 articles are summarized on pages vii-xii and a few of the themes are listed below as proof that, as another of last year's reviewers puts it, Penrose 'provides something for specialists and everything for those generally interested'.
Illustrated throughout with various printed tip-in samples.
