“Much of the printing of Nevada’s territorial and early statehood period has been soundly documented in a handsome and important new scholarly work . . . Nevada Printing History is certainly one of the most important works of its kind to be published in many years.” —Robert E. Blesse, Nevada Historical Society Quarterly, Fall 1983 “Armstrong gives us much more than a checklist; he has in fact produced an excellent survey of the workings of the printing trade in its first twenty-three years in Nevada. Meticulously researched and exhaustively documented, it is a necessary reference for libraries or collectors interested in western imprints or printing history.” —Richard W. Ryan, Meckler Publishing, 1983 “Robert Armstrong’s Nevada Printing History is one of the most important Nevada publications to come along in recent years.” —Dave Basso, Nevada State Journal, January 23, 1983 ""Individual entries are organized by year of publication, and within these, by author or title. Each annual list of imprints is preceded by a few paragraphs of historical introduction, highlighting the important developments affecting printing, both public and private, in the state. . . . Nevada Printing History is a model for a bibliography of state imprints in its completeness of description and wealth of information.” —Philip A. Metzger, The Papers of the Bibliographical Society of America, Second Quarter 1984
