This book was printed by letterpress from type cast on
the Linotype by Heritage Letterpress, LLC of Charlotte,
North Carolina. The typeface is Baskerville, a design by
John Baskerville (1706-1775), English printer and typefounder.
Linotype Baskerville is a weight-for-weight
and curve-for-curve copy of Baskerville's celebrated
printing type. The pattern for the cutting was a complete
font of (approximately) 14 point, cast from Baskerville's
own matrices—exhumed at Paris, France, in
1929. The paper is 70-pound Glatfelter, an acid-free
paper with a useful life of 300 years.
