John Carter Books

Printing and the Mind of Man (PMM) has become a standard bibliographical reference, offering a survey of the impact of printed books on the development of western civilization. This second revised edition is the preferred edition for bibliophiles, as it is extensively revised with a new introduction by Percy H. Muir, addition bibliographies by Peter Amelung and a revised index. The book developed from an exhibition put on at two locations to coincide with the 1963 International Printing Machinery and Allied Trades Exhibition (IPEX). At the behest of typographer Stanley Morison it was decided to put together an exhibition of the contribution printing had made to the enlargement of human knowledge. Ian Fleming, who lent 40 books from his library, was among the private collectors who contributed to the exhibition. A book-length edition of the exhibition catalog was first produced in 1967, revised in 1983 by this second edition, which has become the standard reference.
