1 | Pitt Minion format? | Bible general Archive 4 | TCfromCoventry | 195993 | ||
My local Wesley Owen Manager managed to discover this for us (many thanks to Richard Morris!) I'll paste his answer here: "Here’s the answer from another store manager who has a Pitt Minion NASB Why Pitt Minion? The Pitt Building (in Cambridge), built to house the (Cambridge University) Press and named after William Pitt, Prime Minister of Britain and Member Parliament for Cambridge University, lent the name to series of Pitt Press publications from the nineteenth century onwards. Minion is a traditional term for a type size approximately 7 point, giving text of about 10-11 lines to the inch.” So, very small type, as used and originated at Cambridge University! Hope this isn't too late to help with your decision! Interesting anyway!! |

Thank you very much Steve and Doc, I think I have a Pitt Minion (purchased in '69 or '70), but I only remember it being called a Cambridge Cameo. After all this time and a kazillion moves it only looks maybe 5years old! (Inside a different story!! Why needed replacing.) I won't be purchasing it till Jan. but wanted to get a jump on a decision (femalie difficulty, don't you know :-) ). Black calfskin, 8pt font, also sounds like it has a larger concordance. Once again, thank you so much for the help (and the history, history is always interesting!!). Shalom Cheri |
