A first edition of the deluxe one volume format containing four color plates not present in the standard one-volume edition. Previously issued in four volumes. As described by Geoffrey Wakeman in The Literature of Letterpress Printing 1849-1900, no. 54 "[This] was in fact the most important and complete book [on printing] to have appeared since the first edition of Practical printing in 1882 and it remained influential for many years ... The 'art style' and fine printing were incorporated into the book. A chapter on linotype was specially written by an expert. Monotype, Tachytype, Cox, Empire, Fraser & Hooker, Thorne, Hattersley and Wicks machines were all described." Also includes chapters discussing color printing including two-colour and three-colour printing
