- Abstract
- Due to the discontinuance of hot metal printing at the Government Printing Office, the instructions in this edition of the GPO Style Manual have been couched in the language of the electronic photocomposition processes. Where possible, printing terminology has been retained to help bridge the gap between the old and the new methods of printing. Editors and writers whos disciplines have taught them aspects of style different from rules followed in this Manual will appreciate the difficulty of establishing a single standards. The Style Manual has served Federal printers since 1894, and with this 28th edition, the traditions of printing and graphic arts are carried forward of the Style Manual are invited.
