But the march of progress hasn't been smooth; downright bizarre is more like it. Printer's error chronicles some of the strangest and most humorous episodes in the history of Western printing, and makes clear that we've succeeded despite ourselves. Rare-book expert Rebecca Romney and author J. P. Romney take us from monasteries and museums to auction houses and libraries to introduce curious episodes in the history of print that have had a profound impact on our world.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Nanakuli Public Library Adult Nonfiction 002.09 Ro Checked In Add Copy to MyList
