Lund Humphries, London, first edition, 1971. Cloth, 4to, 31 cm,. 184 pp, ills, facs. From the blurb: "Stanley Morison is one of the major figures in the history of typography, as a provider of distinguished book typefaces and as one who, in the first half of the twentieth century, did most to raise the study of typography to a scholarly level.
