ER-105 Specimen Book of “Monotype Printing Types Volumes One and Two 5/15/23
Reprinted here is the Introduction of this book by Edward Rayher.
This book is a facsimile of the what the author believes is the most recent version of The Monotype Corporation Limited's "Specimen book of 'Monotype' Printing Types." Since the two volumes used a ring binder to hold specimen sheets no two specimen books were necessarily the same. Not only did clients alter their own books, but over time new faces were added and others retired, so even a "new" binder would reflect the offerings only at that particular time. This work is as close to complete as humanly possible.
At the end of Volume Two the Frakturs and Gaelic faces which were not usually added to the specimen books, but were available upon request, are appended. These were extremely hard to find.

Specimen Book of “Monotype” Printing Types
Volumes One and Two
$100.00
plus cost of USPS Media Mail
Please note: since this-work is the result of scans being printed and then adjusted, it is third generation and is not intended to replace the precious originals. One goal of this work is to let people who do not have access to an original to have at least a good copy, and for those who do, a work copy for the shop or office that can be marked up or defiled with fingerprints, oil, and etc., with little consequence.
Many thanks to Monotype Imaging Inc., and the Type Archive for permission to make this book.
