From the Preface: "This book, while in no sense a reprint of any former work, has been compiled because of the interest shown in OLD PAPERMAKING, issues in limited form in 1923...The present book deals with the same phase of papermaking but in a more comprehensive manner than the older work; not only is it issued in a larger edition than was possible in the private press items, but it contains additional text and a greater variety of illustrative material."
