| Abstract: | Carl Purington Rollins became manager of the manufacturing department of Yale University Press in 1918, and over the next
thirty years he designed and supervised the production of more than two thousand books for the Press. In so doing he set design
standards for university press books throughout the nation. This article examines Rollin's philosophy and methodology, which
developed through the creation of a partnership between handcrafts-manship and emerging technologies of mechanical book production.
Megan L. Benton also directs the university's Elliott Press, where she teaches courses in fine printing, typography, and the
book arts |
