[17.1 cm.] Near very good in original glassine dust jacket. Slight gouge to the head of front board at the joint, else a nice, clean copy. Spine just a trifle cocked; mild tanning to endpapers due to contact with dust jacket flaps. Fragile dust jacket is browned as expected, chipped at the head of the spine, and has a few small tears. FIRST EDITION. One of 250 copies. Designed and printed by Charles Harold Lauck, Sr. (1896-1975). A keepsake prepared for distribution to members of the Sixteenth Annual Conference on Printing Education, Chicago, June 28 - July 1, 1937. The preface, being "A Tribute" to Goudy, was written by J. Henry Holloway (pp. 7-8). Scarce.
