Before he published anything bibliographical, Fredson Bowers wrote a
book on dogs. This led to his being identified in the British Museum
[now Library] catalogue as "Bowers, Fredson, Author of THE DOG OWNERS
HANDBOOK".
He was also an avid stamp collector.

I agree completely with Chris on what the answer *should be*, but I
did miss one thing, viz., that the photocopying resulted in a metal,
or other, form that was inked and used to do the printing.
....and, since the consensus of experts is what decides issues in
bibliography, and since Carter and Bowers are definitely recognized
experts, there's little choice but to go along with them.

PS If you haven't yet read Don Dickinson's biography of Carter, run
out and get a copy. (I've opened books by both Carter and Bowers;
have loved everything by Carter; I've gotten only as far as *trying*
to read Bowers. How important/influential was/is he in the field of
bibliography?)
