Item description from seller

Small 4to. Quarter green cloth with gilt spine lettering and green patterned paper over boards, pictorial price-clipped dust jacket. Frontispiece. (27pp). Fine/fine. This first edition of an important study is as pristine as it gets -- tight, bright. Publisher Carroll Coleman notes in rear colophon, "the large letters on each page are Perpetua Titling Capitals, and the two decorative letters on the title page are Floriated Capitals, all types designed by Eric Gill, and all hand-set." A-Z (one letter at top of each page) appear in various colors within varying color borders. Laid in is a fine glossy black-and-white 7" X 5" photograph showing Catich holding a brush and lettering a large sheet, captioned "Father E.M. Catich of Saint Ambrose College, demonstrates his views on The Origin of Serifs 25 June 1962 Rockefeller Institute, New York.".
