• “Although not exactly an attractive example of printing, the 1901 edition of “The Printers’ Pocket Guide” by (A. C. Couch, 219 Shakespeare-road, Herne Hill, S. E.; 2½d., post free) meets a decided want amongst the fraternity. Its list of printers’ societies, unions, and associations is alone worthy of acquisition; whilst almanac, diary, ready reckoner, and various technical information make up a useful compendium” (“New Publications” 48)
