Studies relating to printing house practice have shown that compositors did not always distribute title-page type immediately after the printing of the forme in which this type was first used; sometimes all or part of the title-page was left standing for later use in the printing of advertisements or another issue of the work. Here we note how this practice may have contributed to errors in title-page inscriptions for two plays by James Shirley.[1]
