NOT a remainder. Fresh and crisp. Obviously never read. 1976 First Edition. This critical look at Morison's early life and work features 96 illustrations, many never before reproduced. The ephemera Morison designed early in his career are examined, as are the type specimen sheets, book designs, and dust jackets that contribute to making him one of the most influential typographers of his generation. 7.5" wide by 10" tall. Bound in the original bright gilt-stamped black boards. From the dust jacket: "Herbert Jones sets out to show Morison as a practical typographer, concentrating on the nineteen twenties, the period when the work Morison did was the most basic and also the most varied in character; the decisive ten years during which he rose from an amateur to a polished professional. He briefly traces Morison's introduction to printing through the people he met and shows how his interest in the craft developed, and then looks critically at the ephemera Morison designed and on which he cut his teeth in the course of evolving a style and eventual mastery of the medium of typography. Morison was one of the best propagandists the printing trade ever had, Mr. Jones asserts, and he illustrates this claim with examples of Morison's writing and designs, including some splendidly laid out type specimen sheets. In a stimulating chapter on the making of books Mr. Jones gives an outline of Morison's approach to rational book design together with a commentary on some of his productions. Other chapters deal with Morison's work with printer's ornaments, his interest in papers and patterns, his work with Gollancz, including the typography of the books as well as the famous jackets that covered them, and his attitude to the modern movement. The book is enlivened by authentic glimpses of Morison, the man, and enriched by nearly a hundred examples of his typography, many of them never before reproduced, displaying to the full the charm and vitality of Morison's work.".
