Valenti Angelo (1897-1982) was a highly-regarded designer, illuminator, and decorator of books over a career that spanned decades, doing much of his early work for the Grabhorn Press and the Book Club of California; he also printed his own books in extremely limited editions under the imprints of "The Golden Cross Press" and "The Press of Valenti Angelo". This publication of The Book Club of California celebrates Angelo's fiftieth anniversary as a printer, and is a detailed collection of his work up to 1975. Many of the facsimiles in the book are printed in colour and some are even hand-coloured by Angelo himself; he contributed greatly to the design of this book. The volume has essays about Angelo's work and his skill as a printer and designer, written by celebrated novelist Sherwood Anderson (1876-1941), writer Annis Duff, and Robert Grabhorn, of the Grabhorn Press. ___DESCRIPTION: Quarter red cloth with orange boards, blue decorations by Valenti Angelo running vertically on the front and rear boards, orange paper spine label with blue lettering, fore-edge uncut, bottom edge rough cut, title page with illustrations and ornaments in blue and orange with hand-colouring in gilt by Angelo, decorations and initial capitals by Angelo throughout, forty-three specimens of Angelo's printing, thirty-five of which are in colour, and some hand-coloured, throughout; monotype Centaur, machine-made paper, folio size (14.5" by 10.25"), pagination: [1-6] 7-97 [98] [1, colophon], one of 400 copies, unnumbered. ___CONDITION: A fine copy overall; the covers clean, the corners straight and unrubbed, the binding tight with solid hinges, the interior clean and bright, and free of prior owner markings; with light toning at the hinges, else fine. ___CITATION: BCC, no. 154. ___POSTAGE: Please note that this is an unusually large and heavy item and additional postage may apply; please inquire for details. ___Swan's Fine Books is pleased to be a member of the ABAA, ILAB, and IOBA and we stand behind every book we sell.
