"The result of a lifetime spent studying the history of bookmaking and graphic arts, this work provides an in-depth examination of book printing and illustration in Brazil. This was to be the first part of a more comprehensive work; sadly, Ferreira died before finishing the second part. Even so, this is a unique reference work notable for its wealth of information both in word and image. Includes indexes of names and subjects and a list of illustrations"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
