Typologia: Studies in Type Design and Type Making
Berkeley and Los Angeles: University of California Press, 1940. Hardcover. Limited edition signed by the author, number 282 of 300. Gaudy begins his chapter on "Fine Printing" with the declaration that "Print, the medium by which the thoughts of men are made visible and through which all literature finds expression, may be merely good, or it may be fine in the sense that a work of art is fine". Typologia outlines Gaudy's philosophy and practice of type design, while itself being a fine example of his art. Minor wear to the original green slipcase (stamped with the number of the limited edition). Very slight scuffs to the leather spine, parchment covered boards are bright and clean. Marbled endpapers, deckle edges. [i]-xviii, 1-170, [1].11.25 x 7.5" Very Good. Item #2023-P46
