Note 3 — The Seven Champions of Typography
Reading edition
Entire books have been printed without a single broken word. An example of this is Marcellin Brun’s Manuel pratique et abrégé de la Typographie française—the first edition printed by Didot père et fils at Paris in 1825, and the second by Vroom of Brussels in 1826. The latter is a 12mo volume of two hundred and forty pages, and is set in 8-point type, with notes in a still smaller size.
