Foreword by Henry Louis Gates, Jr. Sm. 4to., grey decorative boards lettered in silver. "Against the Tide" examines African-American history and culture through the perspective of rare books, correspondence, and documents. "Something of a blend of a non-traditional book catalogue, an extremely reliable textbook, and an especially accessible reference tool," said Henry Louis Gates, Jr., "'Against the Tide' is a remarkable feat of scholarship, research, and interpretation." The 300-page volume was designed by typographic executor Jerry Kelly of The Steinhour Press and published by Glenn Horowitz Bookseller in a limited edition of 1500 copies, signed by Weinstein. A gorgeous copy.
