Blue cloth with bright gilt titling on spine, slightly soiled. Strengthening tape between end papers. Name on back end papers. 441pp clean and tight. IN this thoroughly revised and entirely reset Tenth Edition, the Authors' and Printers' Dictionary embodies changes required by the renaming of places in India, Pakistan, and elsewhere, while all the entries have been scrutinized anew and, wherever modification was needed, brought into line with accepted standards of current printing practice. For more than half a century `Consult Collins' has been everyday advice among printers, authors, and editors when an authoritative answer is needed to some one of the many queries that arise during the passage of books through the press. For the spelling of tricky words and personal and place names, for dates of famous men and women, for the meaning and correct form of abbreviations and frequently used foreign words and phrases, for the elucidation of technical - terms, and for many other practical purposes in the printery, the office, and the study, the Authors' and Printers' Dictionary is an invaluable guide. .
