I realize I've used a term not everyone's familiar with.
A colophon is a page at the back of a book that usually provides
information about the paper, fonts, and printer -- not used a whole lot
these days, although here's (a rather lengthy) one from a book I have
sitting here (please forgive any typographical errors -- they are mine, not
the book's):
Designed, typeset, printed, and bound by R.R. Donnelley & Sons Company.
Text was set and pages output by ComCom, the R.R. Donnelley composition
facility located in Allentown, Pennsylvania.
The body typeface is 11/12 pt. Bulmer. Images were scanned and proofed on
state-of-the-art equipment in the Crawfordsville, Indiana, Book
Manufacturing Division electronic prepress center.
Maps were created by GeoSystems of Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
Electronic information was converted into press-ready plates using
computer-to-plate technology.
The book was printed and bound in the Crawfordsville Book Manufacturing
Division.
Paper stock is 50-pound White Lakeside Classics Opaque, a 50-percent
recycled sheet manufactured by Glatfelter.
Cloth for the one-piece case binding is Roxite C Vellum Chocolate Brown,
manufactured by Holliston Mills, Inc.
