Notes

  • Dedication: To the pioneer printers and risk talkers who set up their businesses under almost impossible climatic conditions with heat, cold, dust, lack of proper equipment, materials, worn type...and to the tens of thousands of compositors, proofreaders, printers, bookbinders and other craftsmen and women who worked in these poor conditions...many of whom ventured from England and Europe to a new life in Australia.
