PRINT PLANT MANAGEMENT: Its Relation To The Craftsman and the Customer by H.R. Lewis Hammond, Indiana: W.B. Conkey Company, (1932). First edition, first printing. Lewis was the vice president and general manager of the W.B. Conkey Company printing plant in Hammond, Indiana. Because of Lewis's success and reputation for extreme quality production at his plant, he was invited to give a talk at the Chicago Club of Printing House Craftsman for their twelfth annual convention. The talk was so successful that he was requested to give it again on numerous other occasions. This very detailed and insightful written address is from the talk he presented there. Lewis discusses equipment, how to achieve quality, tips on avoiding flaws, functionality, problems, efficiency, public relations, types of customers/businesses and their expectations, engineering skill, and many other details of printing. An impressive study of master craftsmen care and techniques, whose intricate skills and art should still be cultivated today. A few very tiny soil spots, else near fine in black silk-linen with black titles to decorative silver embossed borders and panels (with one minor small scuff), and with a silver embossed vignette illustration of a winged horse on a book to the front cover; no dust jacket. Quite nice and presentable. Small octavo; 51 pages; Introduction. FREE SHIPPING TO THE USA. PLEASE VIEW OUR STORE FOR MORE GREAT FIRST EDITION BOOKS THANKS!
