From Paper-mill to Pressroom

About the author

William Bond Wheelwright, born in 1879, was an American author and editor associated with books on papermaking, printing, and related trades. Confirmed works linked to him include From Paper-mill to Pressroom (published in 1920), as well as later titles such as Printing Papers, Practical Paper Technology, and Paper Trade Terms.

His writing appears to have been especially focused on explaining the materials and processes behind print production for manufacturers, salespeople, and readers with a practical interest in the field. That makes him a useful figure for readers curious about the craft and business side of books in the early 1900s.

Reliable biographical detail beyond his birth year was limited in the sources I could confirm, so this overview stays close to his documented publications and areas of work.
