Cardboard portfolio (ninth impression, 1950) containing 17 leaves detailing manuscript and inscription typeface, for use in classrooms and for craftsmen. The plates depicting Eric Gill's work, some incised in stone, are particularly interesting as they exhibit some of his earliest in the field. Edward Johnston was influential on Gill's later development of the famous Gill Sans, sans-serif typeface. The portfolio itself is in good to v.good condition, with some spotting on white pasted cover and slight bumping to corners. Individual leaves are all v.good with one or two showing some minor spotting. Toning commensurate with age. A very good copy.

Store description
Wild & Homeless Books has been trading from 12 South Street, Bridport, Dorset since February 2009. The current mismanagement team, who have been involved with the shop pretty much since opening, have been sitting in the big chair since Bastille Day 2016 and now have about 60 years of book trade experience between them in one form or another. The shop itself is situated on two floors of a listed (and listing) building in Bridport's town square and contains a ridiculous number (according to our surveyor) of secondhand books. We try to carry a good general stock and do not specialise as such, although we're on reasonably good ground when it comes to Railways and Cricket. We are also stockists of Wild Swan railway titles, now being published in Bath by Simon Castens, owner of the Titfield Thunderbolt transport bookshop. We are, by and large, open for business Monday to Saturday between 9.30 and 4.30, and are closed Sundays and Bank Holidays. We are occasionally closed due to ill-health, parenting responsibilities, Test Matches, and the phases of the moon. Please check if travelling specifically to visit. All of this rich pageant is watched over by a larger than life-sized print of Audrey Hepburn and a semi-sentient 1950s valve radio called The Behemoth.…
