Octavo. xii, 62pp. A candid recounting of the joys and pitfalls of presswork in southern California. Cheney revels in the identity of the "typesticker": a printer who fits "easily and naturally into the shop of any obscure printing office from the time of Gutenberg to the late Nineteenth Century" and who maintains a slight but significant place in twentieth-century presswork. Handwritten edits to page xi. Faint fading at edges, else near fine in quarter black cloth and near fine dust wrapper. Errata slips laid in.
