McMURTRIE, Douglas C. EARLY PRINTING IN MICHIGAN 1796 - 1850.
(Mansfield): M. Martino, [2000]. Reprint. Cloth; large octavo; [iv], 351
pages. Reprint of the 1931 Chicago edition. This is a comprehensive
bibliography of all the issues of the Michigan Press from 1796-1850. In
pratically every case, the original imprint was examined and described
by McMurtrie or by his staff. The beginnings of printing in Michigan
date from the printing of Congressional Acts in Detroit in 1796. In all
600 issues of the press are meticulously described. Apart from the
thorough bibliography, McMurtrie also provides a hundred-page narrative
history describing the spread of printing in Michigan and the
controversies that arose in relation to printing there. Illlustrated
with facsimiles of title pages and portraits, this book is notoriously
difficult to find and has not been available in reprint previously.
