Cloth, plan endpapers, gilt cover-initials and year, 4to, 26 cm, 63 pp, 8 ills. From the blurb - "When a handful of proof-readers met at the Falcon Tavern, Fetter Lane, on September 4, 1854, they had no more ambitious plans in mind than to form a kind of voluntary employment agency and to find some means of ameliorating a little… the conditions under which they spent their long working hours. What they achieved was the founding of the Association of Correctors of the Press, which, in a hundred years, has become a compact, efficient and powerful trade union, one of the wealthiest of its size in the country ; a union which safeguards its members' interests not only at work but also during unemployment and in retirement ; a union which upholds its high standards of craftsmanship by requiring aspirants for membership to pass a practical test ; a union which consistently stands by the principles of trade-unionism. In writing this history, Mr. Shane, one-time Press Officer for the T.U.C., has found little of bitter fighting or martyrdom. He has found, instead, a great deal of loyalty, whole- hearted service and long-headedness." In 1965, the ACP merged into the National Graphical Association. Good in a worn and stained dustwrapper.
