(Preface) 'Volume 72 takes PENROSE into another decade and already the scene is set for even more manual operations in the graphic arts to be placed under electronic control. Developments like Sci-Tex's Response 300, featured in this issue, show clearly that it is not only the tedious tasks that are being replaced. However, PENROSE takes a sabbatical from the digital countdown to computer domination and the work of machines to focus on individual achievements like the creative calligraphy of Hella Basu, postermaking by Peter Strausfeld, typography from Gerrit Noordzij's original viewpoint, an appreciation of the Victorian illustrator Randolph Caldecott, contemporary paperback design by Jim Wire and a tribute to Jacksons of Piccadilly - closed after nearly 300 years' trading...'
