A propos de cet article

"By act of Congress the Public Printer is authorized to determine the form and style of Government printing. The STYLE MANUAL is the product of many years of public printing experience, and its rules are based on principles of good usage and custom in the printing trade. In addition, the MANUAL attempts to keep abreast of and sometimes anticipate changes in orthography, grammar, and type production. It has grown with Government and the ever-expanding body of language with new terms and expressions. . . It should be remembered that the MANUAL is primarily a GPO printers stylebook. Easy rules of grammar cannot be prescribed, for it is assumed that editors are versed in correct expression. As a printers book, it necessarily uses terms which are obvious to those skilled in the graphic arts. A glossary of such printing terms to be complete would unnecessarily burden the MANUAL." Maroon boards. Gold lettering on spine. Minor sunning of spine. Bumped corners. Slight rubbing of boards. One scuff on front of board (above gold lettering). No dust jacket. Natural toning (browning) of pages. No pencil marks or highlights inside of book. Approx dimension: 6.25"x9.25"x1.5" 496 pages.
