Description:
Salt Lake City: Porte Publishing, 1924. First edition.. Original textured brown boards, designed and lettered in gilt on panels of green. Some shelf wear, a very good copy. Porte wrote numerous books to do with commercial printing. This looks like a fictionalized version of some of his travels in the USA, all to do with the economics and printing of a newspaper, THE HERALD. Smith: AMERICAN FICTION 1901-1925, cites an earlier book: "The Printers of Chiapolis" published under the same imprint in [c.1922]; presumably a similar work.
