No Binding. Condition: Very Good. Very uncommon publication from 1968 which contains a bounty of American trademarked logos from the heyday of the post-war graphic design and advertising boon. In Black cardboard slipcase foil-stamped in white, with a 56 page booklet, 16 sheets that fold out to 4 panels, and 45 single panel sheets. An amazing document in a visually compelling format. This copy generally very nice, with some heavier wear to the slipcase, but the inner contents are in excellent, superb, crisp condition, appears scarcely looked through at all. The case itself, thought still intact, is a bit wobbly, and is missing about 1" of one of the sides, and what remains on both sides is slightly curled and peeled up form the joining cardboard underneath, leaving it a bit precarious as is (could likely be fixed up easily with PVA glue and happy to do that for anyone interested). Some further fraying at the sides and some light rubbing to covers besdes. As mentioned, all interior contents are nearly as new, remarkably so given the age. Booklet has some minor toning around edges of the back cover, and one or two of the sheets has the slightest bit of corner wear, but generally superb. Lester Beall [essay] Chicago: Society of Typographic Arts (STA), June 1968. First [only] edition. Black cardboard slipcase foil-stamped in white. [16] 4-panel sheets, 25 loose sheets, and a 56-page booklet enclosed in the slipcase. Contents lightly handled. The Publishers slipcase is split along the lower front edge and worn along each edge, with tape repair to case bottom and bumps to corners. Nearly fine contents in a fair to good example of the Publishers slipcase. Rare. Black slipcase contains 16 [8.5" x 8.5"] 4-panel sheets, 25 [8.5" x 8.5"] loose sheets and a 56-page [8.5" x 8.5"] perfect-bound booklet. From the introduction: "193 American trademarks, symbols and logotypes were chosen by a jury of leaders in the field of design to be represented in Trademarks/USA, the first national retrospective exhibition of its kind, which opened April 22, 1964 at the National Design Center in Marina City, Chicago, under the auspices of the Society of Typographic Arts." An amazing document that chronicles the rise of the American trademark after World War II, and by extension the graphic design profession as well. Essays include the introduction for "Trademarks/USA" including the President's Message and 5 b/w photos of jury members, an essay called The Trademark: A Graphic Summation of Individuality by Lester Beall including 5 b/w photos of the exhibition.

32 lines with 15 lines of notes & address on three sides of a folded 8vo sheet. Sam Rand writes to the Clerk of the Peace on behalf of his particular friend the plumber Mr. North, who was instrumental in the capture of highwayman Coates near 'Brumpton' (i.e. Brompton). Rand states that unfortunately, 'Mr North's misfortunes have brought on this side of the water and on that account cannot have the liberty to prosecute his claime as the others doe'. He hopes that the powers that be, specifically a Mr. Hardisty, will keep North's reward for him until he is able to claim it, at which time Rolfe will receive a gratuity for his help in the matter. The letter was written during the great age of highwaymen - considered to be between the Restoration in 1660 and the death of Queen Anne in 1714 - when the absence of any police force left unpaid parish constables and brave civilians to take on these numerous and dangerous criminals.
