Printing Details

First thus, small paperback with french flaps. Limited edition (this being no 315 of 350). 17 × 11cm, 38pp [1]. French text.

A collection of extracts taken from the celebrated preface of Giambatista Bodoni's Il Manuale Tipografico. Originally published posthumously in 1813, these reflections serve as the definitive statement on the aesthetics of the "Bodoni" style—emphasizing clarity, regularity, and high-contrast elegance.

Condition

The covers are lightly tanned and rubbed, typical for mid-century cream card. The contents remain in good plus order, quite crisp and bright, with only a few occasional spots of light foxing.
