We have only one apparently complete run available. We say "apparently" because the bibliography of this review is rather confusing and sketchy. According to a knowledgeable employee of the Imprensa Nacional, we have all the issues ever published. While it may seem odd that there are only five numbers for the initial volume and six for all but volumes IV and VII (the final one) of the first series, there are tickets inside the front covers of the first two numbers stating that a subscription for the first year consists of 5 numbers; regarding volumes IV and VII, these were difficult times in Portugal.

For the first series, we were able to confirm that it began in 1972 and that the British Library holds volume VI, numbers 1-3 [a triple issue]. Porbase lists for the first series only the first volume, 1972, and for the second series only states that it began in 1983 and that its appearance was "irregular". The British Library Integrated Catalogue states that for the first series the BL has only volume VI, numbers 1-3; for the second series the BL holdings are less clear, the BLIC stating that it begins in 1983. Hollis does not list the first series at all, and states that Harvard has only numbers 10 through 20 of the second series. Orbis does not list the first series either, and states that Yale has numbers 1 through 20 of the second series. The Library of Congress Online Catalog does not mention the first series; it says the LC has 20 volumes of the second series, and that this series ceased with number 20 (1992). See also Almeida Marques 1724 for a set without any numbers of the first series, and with only numbers 1-16 and the three unnumbered special issues of the second series.

The first series is subtitled Revista nacional de artes gráficas. As the title implies, it is devoted to the graphic arts, with emphasis on printing processes, machinery, ink, paper and types. There are also articles on printing history, such as that in the first number by Jorge Peixoto on "Custódio José de Oliveira e as artes gráficas em Portugal"; and José Pedro Machado "O impressor de Os Lvsiadas" in the second issue.

The second series is subtitled Revista da Imprensa Nacional / Casa da Moeda. It contains some material on printing history, but is mainly concerned with literature, literary history and criticism, with some bibliography thrown in. Edited by Diogo Pires Aurélio, it includes contributions by Jorge Borges de Macedo, José-Augusto França, Eduardo Lourenço, Vasco Graça Moura, Sophia de Mello breyner Andresen, Jorge Listopad, Hernâni Cidade, Clara Rocha, António Reis, Luís Filipe Barreto, Viale Moutinho, Eduardo Prado Coelho, José Mattoso, Diogo Pires Aurélio, Miguel Torga, Mário Cláudio, Luís de Albuquerque, Eugénio Lisboa, José Fernandes Fafe, Eugénio de Andrade, António Ramos Rosa, Maria Alzira Seixo, Joel Serrão, António Coimbra Martins, Urbano Tavares Rodrigues, and others. Some of the literary contributions are otherwise unpublished.

The third series, of which only the first two numbers have so far appeared, includes, in the initial number, three essays on Fernando Gil (1937-2006), by José Marinho, Miguel Real, and Manuel Ferreira Patrício. There are additional essays by A.M. Machado Pires on post-modernism, Ivo Castro on Pessoa, José Carlos Seabra Pereira on Vitorino Nemésio and Gomes Leal as art critics, and Rui de Figueiredo Marcos on the work of Paulo Merêa. A short story by José-Augusto França is followed by a brief theatrical piece by Luiz Francisco Rebello. The volume also contains an homage to Afonso Lopes Vieira, as well as critical articles by Luiz Francisco Rebello on the theater of José Régio, Duarte Ivo Cruz on the theater of Luiz Francisco Rebello, Duarte Ivo Cruz on the fourth volume of the Teatro completo of Jaime Salazar Sampaio, and more. The second number includes essays on Âgelo Alves by Manuel Ferreira Patrício, Vergílio Ferreira by Ana Bela Morais, Marcelino Mesquita by Duarte Ivo Cruz, Agostinho da Silva by Paulo Borge, and Julien Benda by João Tiago Proença. The volume also contains a translation of Nietzsche, as well as a play by Teresa Rita Lopes, and a poem by Fernanda de Castro. There are reviews by Luiz Francisco Rebello, Fernando Guimarães, Carlos Leone (3), João Tiago Proença, Pedro Calafate, Miguel Real, and others.
