I bought a book a long time ago that appears to have been printed on a standard IBM 1401 line printer.

(I had that book for years, when it first came out. Also my first compiler book.)

Yes, but note that he was using the special upper AND lower-case chain on the 1401, which made it at least vaguely readable.
