Mergenthaler, Ottmar, 1854-18991992
Book
For the first time, Mergenthaler's autobiography is reprinted exactly as he dictated over a hundred years ago. To this has been added an 1889 article describing the first Linotype installation and the severe conditions under which the operators worked. Well-illustrated throughout, this book is a fitting tribute to the inventor who changed the face of the newspaper and publishing industries.
