Price: US$350.00 + shipping

Description: John Randle, in his introduction, writes, ÒUnlike most other type books, this one is intended to be enjoyed for its content as much for its typographical displays, on the principle that the subtleties of the various faces are best discovered by reading and coming to appreciate them almost unconsciouslyÉÒÉthis bookÕs purpose is toÉcelebrate that typographical renaissanceÉby showing the Monotype faces held at the Whittington Press. The choice of faces, while fairly comprehensive, is inevitably also subjective, and rather than show a little of every size of every faceÉthe plan has been to showÉwhole or half pages [that] show off [Stanley] MorisonÕs legacy in its true glory." Folio. [4], viii, 126, [1, blank] [+1, colophon] pp. Illustrated with numerous wood-engravings, sketches, and three tipped-in full-color plates. Wood engravings by Howard Phipps, Robert Gibbings, Olive Kennedy, and others. Printed on Zerkall mould-made paper. Quarter reddish brown linen buckram spine over patterned boards with gilt spine.
