Rare large paper copy

Bigmore-Wyman I, 228.

First edition.

"The Manuel Typographique is a work which no student of French typography can afford to be without. The simplicity of the author's style, his naïve pride in his own performances, and its mass of information make a book which will become a favourite with anyone who reads it" (Updike, Printing Types, I, p. 265).

"Fournier's Typographical Manual should be in every printing office" (Dibdin, in : Bigmore-Wyman).

Fine copy, possibly printed on large paper as indicates Bigmore-Wyman in his note : "Copies on large paper are of the greatest rarity".
