Albert Boni: A Sketch of a Life in Micro-Opaque.

Traces the life of Albert Boni (1892-1981), founder of the Readex Microprint Corporation. Boni enjoyed success in bookselling and publishing before he turned to studying photography with the goal of using microfilm technology to create a form of microprinting. He served as a consultant to the International Film Book Company that went out of business in 1939 without having produced any works. He then founded the Readex Corporation. The invention of archival quality paper that readily accepted the ink paved the way for Readex to publish bibliographies and collections of material in microprint. Boni retired from the company in 1974.
