About This Item
[n.p., Laguna Beach: Laguna Verde Imprenta, 1982] One of "around sixty copies" printed by Ward Ritchie. Blue Cockerel paper wrappers. 6 x 8. Color-printed initials and two abstract vignettes. With "A Footnote to the Loves of MA" leaf laid in. Toning to first and last leaf and some offsetting from the initials and vignettes. A near fine copy. Ritchie's reminiscences of Merle Armitage (1893-1975), book designer, publisher, art collector, and theatre designer and executive. Armitage, who was born in Mason City, Iowa and began his career in New York, spent many years in Los Angeles, and was part of a circle which included Ritchie, Jake Zeitlin, and Lawrence Clark Powell. This is probably the longest publication of Ritchie's Laguna Verde Imprenta.
