A REPUTATION FOR EXCELLENCE
A History of the Edinburgh Printing Industry

We are deeply indebted to the Scottish Cultural Heritage Unit for their encouragement and support, and in particular to Andrew McDougall for his research and preparation of the major part of the text.

That we have been able to publish this material is due entirely to the enthusiasm and efforts of the second year BA Publishing students at the Department of Print Media, Publishing and Communication, Napier Polytechnic of Edinburgh and to the generosity of Messrs Wiggins Teape Paper who supplied the paper, Messrs George Stewart & Co who undertook the printing and to Messrs Hunter & Foulis for binding the booklet. We also wish to express our thanks to Peter White, the staff at the National Library of Scotland, Edinburgh Central Library, Edinburgh University Library, Huntly House Museum, Edinburgh University Press, and the National Portrait Gallery for their assistance in assembling the illustration for the text.

Finally, we wish to record our sincere appreciation to the many other helpers—too numerous to mention—who must remain anonymous but without whose contributions and encouragement this project would not have developed.

R. Thomson, Chairman
J. C. Keppie, Secretary
