    Printed wrappers, folio, 31 cm, xiv, 192, [1] pp, 125 plates. Catalogue of an exhibition held at the Pierpont Morgan Library, Sept. 11-Dec. 2, 1973 With an essay by Joseph Blumenthal. From the blurb: "This handsome, fully illustrated, meticulously produced volume fìlls a long-standing gap in the history of books concerned with distinguished typography and bookmaking. Neither a printing manual nor a technical treatise, it was written by an accomplished designer and printer and presents concisely and consecutively the history and romance of the greatly printed books. It includes descriptions of the lives of the great printers, Gutenberg, de Tournes, Baskerville, Aldus, etc., and presents the historical backgrounds under which their noble folios were made. Laymen and amateurs of the book will read it with pleasure; professionals invoived in bookmaking, including designers, printers, publishers, librarians, and booksellers, will find it a useful and authoritative addition to the literature. Art of the Printed Book was written by Joseph Blumenthal, a practitioner whose Spiral Press set a long-acknowledged standard in the small company of fine printers in the United States and Europe. It is, in one sense, a personal selection, dependent on Mr. BIumenthal's exacting aesthetic standards and, in another, a testament to the discrimination and collections of that preeminent repository of typography, the Morgan Library. The 112 books selected and reproduced, from the Gutenberg Bible to the twentieth-century works of Rogers, Gill, Updike, Meynell, and Mardersteig, are among the finest copies known and, as would be expected from the Morgan Library and Mr. Blumenthal, no effort bas been spared in the production, design, or illustration of this impressive volume. It presents the book as an object of beauty and printers as men of sensitivity, taste, and ." Name on front free endpaper, wrappers a trifle marked, otherwise near Very Good.
