Book Description
Excerpt from Ex Libris Carissimis Because what interests me is the actual impact of a book upon the mind, and anything in the nature of fantastic or frolic decoration, or excessive bulk, or slovenly editing, Persian ornament of any sort, interferes with the intrinsic purport of the Work. In number I 58 of the famous Tatler, you will find a delicious ironic character-sketch written by Addison of a gentleman whom he describes as a book collector and broker in learning, Tom Folio. And so that it may be textual in the record, I want to read you two or three lines from that essay. Addison ironically describes Tom Folioz He is a universal scholar, so far as the title page, of all authors. He has a greater esteem for Aldus and Elzevir than for Virgil and Horace. He thinks he gives you an account of an author when he tells you the subject he treats of, the name of the editor, and the year in which it was printed. Or, if you draw him into further particulars, he cries up the goodness of the paper, extols the diligence of the corrector, and is transported with the beauty of the letter. This he looks upon to be sound learning and substantial criticism. (you will not have missed Addison's sly suggestion of a pun, Tom Folio and tomfoolery.)

Book Description
Bibliography and Modern Book Production is a fascinating historic journey through the fields of print history, librarianship and publishing. It covers key developments from 1494 to 1949 in bibliography and book production from the history of scripts and paper manufacture to the origins of typefaces and printing. Although not a textbook, the book was a guide for library students in the 1950s on the essential literature of librarianship. As the first librarian appointed to Wits University in 1929, Percy Freer’s near encyclopaedic knowledge of the subject of bibliography enabled him to develop a key resource for relevant library examinations in South Africa and abroad. Due to its immense value as a historic record, and to acknowledge Freer’s contributions as scholar, librarian and publisher, it is being reissued as part of the Wits University Press Re/Presents series to make it accessible to scholars in book histories, publishing studies and information science.
