About This Item
London, printed at the John Roberts Press for members of the Wynkyn de Worde Society, 1968, 23 x 13cm, pp. vii, 19; sewn with thread in card covers. Finely printed in red and black with Rogers' Centaur type (and the accompanying Arrighi italics by Warde); limited: 350 numbered copies on creamy cartridge paper. In fine condition. -
This report of 1917, by the eminent American designer ("of Indiana", like Emery Walker liked to say), remains highly relevant after all these years in its general application for all who are involved with print today. It was first privately printed in 1950 as the Cambridge Christmas book for that year, by Brooke Crutchley, the Printer at Cambridge (500 copies), with an introduction by Crutchley. For the 1968 edition by the Wynkyn de Worde Society, which is the second edition, Mr. Crutchley has slightly changed and adapted his introduction. It is very scarce; scarcer than the 1950 edition.
