For those of us who collect fine press publications:
*PUBLICATION ANNOUNCEMENT*
Fredric Brown's entertaining short story about a sentient Linotype,
titled *Etaoin
Shrdlu*, was originally published in 1942 in the magazine *Unknown Worlds*.
While Mr. Brown was well known for his science fiction short stories and
novels as well as his award-winning detective fiction, it is clear he knew
his way around a Linotype.
Ivy Derderian, with the help of Wolfe Editions, announces a new publication
of *Etaoin Shrdlu*, designed in the manner of pulp magazines of the 1940s.
The text type is Linotype Bodoni Book, titles were set in Ludlow Ultra
Modern. Text is printed on acid free Dur-o-tone Aged Newsprint, cover is
acid free St. Armand Colours. The two engravings used are from a 1923 issue
of *The Linotype Bulletin*.
