M. Cleland. ... In the 1950s he was responsible for the production of hte press's most ambitious book, Prevost's Manon Lescaut. ... As an example of the luxurious book at its most magnificent, and at its furthest remove from commercial printing, the Overbrook Manon Lescaut was unequaled among postwar private press books and had few peers among the books of earlier presses." ~ (Cave 210-211.).
