Some comments about this book:
"... this work offers in its second part the situation of the graphic arts in our country. The profusion of photographs, graphics and technical explanations make the work a support resource for teachers that could well be used
lized in the subjects of book technology or new technologies in communication faculties"
Macworld
"Everything should be highlighted about the book: format, paper, printing, design, illustrations, binding and content. Augusto Jurado has managed to harmonize all the elements, to build a spectacular set, a book-encyclopedia of 105 that hook readers and booksellers, book professionals in general. Because nothing is forgotten, or very little is forgotten. In 410 numbered pages, very few things are left out."
