cost, patricia a.: The Bentons. How an American Father and Son Changed the Printing Industry

rit Cary Graphic Arts Press, Rochester, New York. 2011. xxii, 372 pages + colophon. 4to (25,5 x 18 cm). Stiff paper wrappers with folding flaps. Illustrated. Foreword by Matthew Carter. New copy.Linn Boyd Benton and Morris Fuller Benton may be the most under-ap-preciated giants in the history of printing. The story of the lives and work of Linn Boyd Benton and Morris Fuller Benton is an important chapter in the history of type, recalling a time in American history when men quietly worked at developing and improving mechanical technologies that they thought would continue evolving incrementally into the future. Linn Boyd Benton mechanized the process of making type—whereas before, somebody had to cut each letter by hand, which took about a day

per letter. His invention completely brought typemaking into the Industrial Revolution. And Morris during his lifetime designed over 200 typefaces, ranging from revivals of historical models like atf Bodoni to original designs like Hobo and Broadway.Patricia Cost began researching the Bentons in the early 1980s. The results of her efforts were ini-tially published as a master’s thesis at Rochester Institute of Technology and generated inquiries from around the world since, due to the nature of their work and to their own reticence, the Bentons had remained mostly unknown. Her book incorporates further research and contains a comprehensive list-ing of Morris Benton’s typefaces. SEK300 / €34

amert, kay: The Scythe and the Rabbit: Simon de Colines and the Culture of the Book in Renaissance Paris

rit Cary Graphic Arts Press, Rochester, New York. 2012. 288 pages + colophon. Stiff paper wrappers with folding flaps. Illustrated. Edited by Robert Bringhurst. New copy.Simon de Colines was one of the greatest typographers, printers and publishers of the Renaissance. He has nevertheless been unfairly neglected. Apart from a pair of scholarly bibliographies, published a century apart, this is the first book-length study of his work.As Robert Bringhurst writes in his introduction to this volume, “Colines as much as anyone built the semiotic structure of the book as we now know it, with its chapter headings and subheads, page numbers and running heads, tables of

contents, indices, and source notes. He also cut lucid and beautiful type at a crucial moment: when the Latin and Greek alphabets were still engaged in their historic metamorphosis from manuscript to metal.…” SEK400 / €46

Printed ephemera designed by WAD

william addison dwiggins was born in the midwest in 1880 and died in 1956. As a boy he wanted to be an artist and was sent to Frank Holme’s School of Illustration in Chicago where one of his teachers was fred goudy. In 1904 Goudy encouraged him to move to Hingham, 20 miles south of Boston, where he spent the rest of his life. In Boston he met updike, rogers, cleland, and ruzicka, each of whom had developed unique styles of typography, but Dwiggins alone championed a modern style of design in printing. For the first two decades he worked in advertising illustration but by the ‘twenties he turned to book illustration, designing some 300 books for Knopf. Along the way he designed typefaces (notably caledonia and electra) and found time to write and create marionette theatres.
