For a briefer treatment that is more concerned with the demands for change in the printing industry brought about by photocomposition see Victor Strauss, “In-House Tape Composition: Basic Consideration,”Publishers' Weekly, 3 March 1969, pp. 78, 80, and 82.

  5. In “Computer-Aided Typesetting with a CRT,”The Computer Journal, XII, No. 4 (November 1969), 358–64, Marya Goldman describes a program of the type that may be useful in electronic printing, though that particular program was intended for a typesetting machine. A major factor in all such enterprises will surely be the cost of equipment and the problems of having it available to the one who should do the editing.
