Tipográfia régtől fogva (Typography Since Olden Times), a book published jointly by NSZL and Argumentum Publishing House, was presented in Oradea (Nagyvárad) on the Day of the Hungarian Culture. This recent album on printing history features five gap-filling studies on 450 years of typography in Nagyvárad. Historian Attila Lakatos was talking to the two editors of the book, literary historian László Boka, Director of Research and Academic Affairs (NSZL) and Oradea archivist András Emődi.
