In the following pages I have endeavored to present a treatise on paper free from confusing technicalities, yet sufficiently intimate to be of service alike to the manufacturer, the salesman, and the consumer of paper viewing the subject in a broad way from the paper mill to the pressroom. The manufacturer and the consumer may notice the omission of some details, as I have aimed to touch mainly on such points as are essential to a good understanding of the work-a-day problems of paper after it reaches the printer. I am convinced that in many cases the problems of the pressroom are too slightly understood by the "paperman," while the technicalities of paper-making are only too vaguely comprehended by the printer. I also feel that both should have at least an acquaintance with the history and progress of paper-making.

William Bond Wheelwright takes readers behind the scenes of the publishing world in "From Paper-mill to Pressroom." Wheelwright's narrative skillfully navigates the various stages of the book production process, offering a comprehensive look at the transformation of raw materials into printed publications. This informative book is a valuable resource for those curious about the intricate workings of the publishing industry and the craftsmanship involved.
