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."

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Folio. vii, 125pp. A collection of articles and type specimens about 21 different typefaces ranging from Baskerville to Walbaum, each of them illustrated with wood engravings by Robert Gibbings, Edward Ardizzone, and several others. The body of the book is, then, a visual and textual exploration of the techniques of type, and a consideration of those techniques as extensions of aesthetic theories of the look of a book. This emphasis on design as a matter of technological, practical, and aesthetic principles is especially apparent in the complementary portfolio, which contains twelve distinct examples printing various images, typefaces, and watermarks of various papers, both marbled and not. Included are papers made for the Kelmscott Press, a broadsheet with 96-point Caslon, hand-colored illustrations, a wood-engraving by Miriam Macgregor, and marbled sheets by Colleen Gryspeerdt. The whole, with portfolio and full binding, is an admirable historical survey of 20th-century page design, useful as a printer's reference, pedagogical compilation, and typographical archive. Bound in full orange leather over boards with inlaid light-orange "A." Additional portfolio housed in quarter-leather chemise with patterned paper over boards. All stored in dropback box. A beautiful book which continues the tradition of fine printing we have come to expect from the Whittington Press. Very fine. One of fifteen especially deluxe copies, full bound and with separate portfolio.…

Limited edition, this being one of 55 copies quarter bound in Nigerian goatskin and printed covers from a total edition of 530. Quarter Nigerian goatskin and patterned paper boards, with a similarly bound portfolio of specimen pages, folio, 37 cm, slipcased. 125 pp, ills plus separate portfolio containing 12 items An appealing and attractively-produced book. This is one of 55 "B" specials (there were also 15 full morocco "A" specials) which include a portfolio of broadsides of types and ornaments. From the introduction: "Unlike most other type books, this one is intended to be enjoyed for its content as much as 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 unconsciously, rather than by learning that Caslon has a scalloped A, or Baskerville an unclosed g. .So, if this book will be picked up by the reader with no interest or concern in the differences between Fry's and Monotype's Baskerville, or who is left cold by the delightful extravagances of Garamond's italic, but who nevertheless continues to turn the pages, nothing will give its compilers greater pleasure.But this book has a more serious purpose too. The typographical renaissance inspired by Stanley Morison in the 1920s, and made real by the technical resources of the Monotype Corporation, left the world of printing with a typographical heritage unique in its five hundred year history - in its diversity, its soundness of design, its scholarship, and its sheer technical brilliance. It gave printers a hitherto undreamed of selection of typefaces to choose from, and was the basis of the era of sound typographical design that ended abruptly when hot metal and letterpress gave way to filmsetting and offset-litho in the 1970s. Suddenly, the laws handed down by God and Stanley Morison were found to be mutable. Character spacing, kerning, and alignment had until then been Fixed in Time, having been Verified in Proof (to use Beatrice Warde's phrase) and passed down to the Monotype operator in the form of solid bronze and steel artefacts, honed to an accuracy of one ten thousandth of an inch. Now, at the press of a key, all these could be changed, even the weight of a bold, or the angle of an italic. The dismal results of this versatility can be seen in most printing produced today, particularly in bookwork." The type specimens included, each of which is shown in a good selection of point sizes, are: Baskerville, Bell, Bembo, Bodoni, Caslon, Centaur, Cochin, Fournier and Barbou, Garamond, Gill Sans, Goudy Modern, Lutetia, Modern, Perpetua, Plantin, Poliphilus and Blado, Romulus, Scotch Roman, Times Roman, Van Duck, and Walbaum. The portfolio contains an interesting mix of material: 1. Kelmscott paper made by Batchelors for William Morris; 2. Heraldic watermark by Van Gelder for Lord Aldenham; 3. Broadsheet showing 96-point Caslon; 4. Broadsheet for The Brethren of the Art Workers Guild; 5. Whittington Show Poster, 2 September 1990; 6. Typographic Fountain; 7. Two Mirrors (hand-coloured by Carmen Voss); 8. Turkish Carpet (in two colour schemes); 9. Pretty Clothes; 10. Mr Berry's Garden, wood-engraving by Miriam Macgregor; 11.
