Do You Want It Good Or Do You Want It Tuesday? The Halcyon Days of W.S. Cowell Ltd. Printers by Ruth Artmonsky
A beautifully designed (by Brian Webb) study of one of England's great printing houses of the last century, Ruth Artmonsky brings to the subject the same level of enthusiasm and knowledge that were such a feature of her works on Contemporary Lithographs Ltd, and School Prints. Edward Ardizzone's Little Tim books, the Puffin Picture Books, John Lewis' Handbook of printing types and David Gentleman and the Limited Edition Club are just some of the topics looked at in detail. The text concludes with essays by Geoffrey Smith on Autolithographic progress and plastic film, and by Noel Carrington on Autolithography of plastic plates.
