THIS pamphlet of specimen pages of printing types is intended to show in a full series of sizes the various faces in use at The Plimpton Press. The different pages of book faces have been made up, approximately, to book size, solid and two-pointleaded, displaying to a certain extent the effectiveness of the type for book purposes. The number of lines and words to the page is given in each specimen, so that word averages for any size page may be closely estimated. We have selected these book faces for our general book work, believing that in both the old style and modern letters we have chosen types that are readable and at the same time artistic in their design.
The specimens of faces larger than twelve-point include all of the old styles and modern Romans, Gothics, and job letters used
