Descrizione libro Hardcover. Condizione: New. Condizione sovraccoperta: New. First Edition. London: Macmillan, 1972. 1972. First Edition. Brand New in a Brand New dust jacket. Perfect condition (thanks to a lucky warehouse find!) NOT price clipped (£10.00 net). NO chips. NO tears. NO creases. NO rubbing. NO fading. Bright, clean, square and tight. Sharp corners. NOT a library discard. NO owner's name or bookplate. NOT a remainder. Fresh and crisp -- obviously never read. Fascinating biography of one of this century's foremost typographers. Morison was co-editor of THE FLEURON, the annual that came to be the Bible of 20th century typography. He designed the famous typeface, "Times New Roman" and was also typographical advisor to the Cambridge University Press. This well-illustrated, scholarly work is an authoritative contribution to 20th century printing and typographic history. Bound in the original gilt-stamped red cloth. From the dust jacket: "In 1923, when the Monotype Corporation appointed Stanley Morison, then 33, as Typographic Adviser, neither he nor they realised that a revolution in the form of printed letters, more substantial than any since Gutenberg invented printing from moveable types, was about to take place. This revolution was largely due to Morison and his powerful personality; its influence is world-wide and still continuing. Mr. Barker has written an account of Morison's life at once balanced and humane, with a rare degree of insight into his complex and fascinating character, He has been able to draw on the private papers of those whom knew Morison best." Appleton 380. First Edition. Hardcover. New/New. 8vo. 566pp. Great Packaging, Fast Shipping. Codice articolo 018311
