Captivated, he investigated further and learned that from 1590 to 1890, this cross between a prayer book and a farmer's almanac was immensely popular in households all across Europe. Published in dozens of editions and revised over the centuries in Venice, Prague, Amsterdam, and throughout Germany before moving eastward in the nineteenth century to Poland and Russia, these books detail the evolution of Jewish custom over three hundred years. But by the 1890s, as Jewish practice became polarized between the secularist and traditionalist views, the Minhogimbukh disappeared. There are no works quite like the historical customs books available today~none so thorough and concise, intuitive in organization, and beautiful. Inspired by the originals, Kosofsky set out to make his own, adapting the books for modem use, adding historical perspective and contemporary application. The result is the reappearance of the Minhogimbukh after more than a hundred~year absence, and the first complete showing of all the original woodcuts~a visual vocabulary of jewish life~since the 1760s. Faithfully based on the earlier editions, The Book of Customs is an updated guide to the rituals, liturgies, and texts of the entire Jewish year, from the days of the week and the Sabbath to all the months with their festivals, as well as the major life~cycle events of wedding, birth, bar and bat mitzvah, and death. With the revival of this lost cultural legacy, The Book of Customs can once again become every family's guide to Jewish tradition and practice.

Kosofsky, Scott-Martin (book design and typography); The Philidor Company (jacket design); Cohen, Stuart (author photograph) (illustratore). 1st Edition. Fine unread condition dark blue linen boards with gold spine lettering contained in a very good condition color illustrated dust jacket. Includes Author Dedication; Foreword by The Rev. Prof. Peter J. Gomes entitled: An Anachronism for Our Time: Tony Jarvis and the Roxbury Latin School and Introduction. Two tiny repaired closed tears at the upper rear jacket edge. All pages are in fine unmarked condition and the spine/binding is in exceedingly tight and square unread condition (see photographs). "This is strong stuff: God, courage, service, faith. In any context it would be worthy of notice and comment, but in an age in which the young are fed little more than self-confirming drivel from elders who fear to lead and at best can only sell, this kind of thinking out loud can seem positively incendiary. It is also seditious, which is to say that it goes against the conventional wisdom, the received opinion, the prevailing consensus. The culture that celebrates low self-esteem as its only original sin cannot easily cope with one who argues that the problem is not low self-esteem, but rather low expectation." - Peter J. Gomes, Minister in the Memorial Church, Harvard University, from the rear outer jacket. "Here, at last, is a book of "uncommon common sense" for young people by someone who has worked with them for thirty-five years. F. Washington ("Tony") Jarvis is one of the nation's most eminent educators, now in his twenty-sixth year as headmaster of Boston's Roxbury Latin School, the oldest school in continuous existence in North America. Jarvis's approach is anecdotal. "If it is true that a picture is worth a thousand words, it is ten times as true when you are speaking with teenagers. They are gripped by the story of how real people cope with real situations. They are interested when you share with them the concrete realities of your own life and experience, and they are almost always willing to listen to adults who actually believe in something, who actually stand for something." Jarvis's addresses, reprinted from his school's publications, have enjoyed something of a cult "underground" circulation among young people - and their parents and grandparents. Now his "top hits" have been brought together in a single volume for wider circulation. The author never talks down to his audience. He knows that - appearances to the contrary - students are asking the deepest questions, questions about whether life has meaning and purpose. The first part of the book deals with these questions. He also knows that teenagers often find themselves caught by surprise in situations where they have to make tough decisions. And he believes that they are willing, even eager, to know how others have coped in similar situations. The second part of the book focuses on "Values to Live By." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps. "The caring quality comes through over and over again in these school talks: the very title, With Love and Prayers, says it all. Wonder of wonders, the talks read as well as they sound, with the ring of authenticity about them - because one can sense in and through them the authentic and natural moral authority of the speaker." - Peter J. Gomes, Minister in the Memorial Church, Harvard University. "This is no time for principals and teachers to stand timidly aside, sounding either an uncertain trumpet or no trumpet at all. The makers of music videos and porn films, the editors of teenage magazines, and the rock and rap idols are sounding no uncertain trumpets in advancing their agendas of hedonism - drugs and sex - and aggressive and even violent self-expression. Those of us who believe that life has meaning and purpose - who believe that honesty, simplicity, respect, and concern for others are eternal and life-enhancing values - cannot in good conscience remain silent." - F. Washington Jarvis, from the inner front jacket flap.

octavo, black cloth. First Edition. First Edition. octavo, black cloth. 268pp. The Society of Printers and The Boston Public Library, This beautifully produced volume celebrates the centennial of Boston's Society of Printers, the oldest honorary society of its kind in America. Founded in 1905 by such luminaries as Daniel Berkeley Updike, Bruce Rogers, Henry Lewis Johnson, Carl Purington Rollins, and William Dana Orcutt, the Society's dedicated membership has over the years included the likes of William A. Dwiggins (who in 1922 actually coined the term "graphic design"), Rudolph Ruzicka, John Howard Benson, Ray Nash, Roderick Stinehour, Dorothy Abbe, Hermann Zapf, Philip Hofer, Leonard Baskin, and Matthew Carter. The book's ten original essays cover unusually broad ground for such a publication, not only delving into the Society's history and Boston's, but also into more philosophical terrain, examining questions such as the definition of printing, itself, the political and sociological worlds of some of some prominent members, and the grand-scale game of "musical chairs" played by those who have called themselves "printers" over the past hundred years. An essay on type and lettering design among the SP membership and its circle is especially rich, comprising interviews with leading practitioners and including information on these crafts that cannot be found elsewhere. A review of a century of meeting announcements is a microcosmic history of American graphic design and printing techniques in the 20th century. Also examined are the habits of the great book collectors among the Society's members, and the distinguished group who have continued in the realm of handmade books and fine letterpress printing. The authors are all noted scholars and practitioners: Lance Hidy, Jean Evans, Eleanor M. Garvey, James E. Mooney, Barry Moser, Katherine McCanless Ruffin, Darrell Hyder, Al Gowan, Victor Curran, and Scott-Martin Kosofsky. The designer of the book is the renowned Roderick Stinehour, who contributes a colophon that is a fine essay in its own right. As new, still in original shrink wrap.
