Updike (D. B.)--Printing types, their history, forms, and use, a study in survivals. With _367_ specimens of various famous presses, from the invention of printing until the present day. _2 vols. Cambridge: U.S.A., 1923._ Wardle (B. L.)--Music title pages, _1500-1925_. A selection of examples, with an introduction. _London, 1926._ This work is announced to be ready in the Spring of 1926 and should be looked for by all students interested in decorative typography. The special nature of fine music production has called for the most lavish use of decoration and illustration, and a selection of the outstanding examples among these titles is therefore of real value to the designer and student of typography.
