The first edition printed at the Curwen Press. Number 25 in Lehman-Haupt's Fifty Books About Bookmaking which describes this important text thus: 'for accuracy of details, clearness of presentation, and excellence of illustration, Fournier's book has never been surpassed… Harry Carter's translation, with a short biography of Fournier, explanatory notes, and wonderful reproductions of the copperplates, is… a key to understanding the printing arts in the light of yesterday's achievements.' This edition appeared in two states, the copy we offer has the cancel leaf with page xxxiii ending: 'Two sizes of ornamented titlings and some of the flowers were recut by Messrs. Peignot in 1914.' It caused quite a spat at the time. Monotype had cut two designs of Fournier - 178 and 185. Morison, as Monotype's typographic advisor, preferred 178 but 185 was approved and released (Morison blamed it on 'some confusion while I was abroad'). Carter's criticism of 185 annoyed Monotype who told Morison to get Simon and Carter to change it. Simon agreed and Carter couldn't overrule him, but he did refuse to recall the copies that had already been issued. Morison had the original version, of course (that's how he found out about the criticism) and he didn't return his own copy for replacement. Series 178 was later released as Barbou.

Linotype’s latest Typeface Catalogue, A to Z, represents a new approach to specimen books for Linotype, taking a decidedly different form from its predecessors over the past two decades. The specimen book offers the user an easy-to-reference overview of Linotype’s entire portfolio. Individual fonts are presented as parts of typeface families; font format information is clearly depicted next to each weight. The specimen book is divided into three parts, each of which is printed in English, French, and German: general information, typeface displays, and technical information. Faces are grouped by category (Sans Serif, Serif, Script and Brush, Decorative and Display, Uncial and Blackletter, Pi and Symbol, Central European and Non Latin Typefaces). Aside from format information, each typeface lists the name of its designer, the year in which it was designed, and from which foundry library the typeface comes from. Each typeface shows a large, 24 point single-line partial alphabet setting in the typeface’s regular weight. If the regular weight has a companion italic, a sample line is set in it as well. Following this are three lines of sample copy in 13-point size that show off some of the font’s special characters, Euro symbol, etc. Lastly, a sample single-line alphabet showing in 12-point size is available for each of the type styles that make up the respective typeface family. The book’s last typeface category, Central European and Non Latin Typefaces, shows all Linotype fonts containing character sets other than the traditional Western European standard. Many OpenType typefaces that contain large character sets are therefore depicted in the catalogue twice, in their respective stylistic category (Sans Serif, Serif, Script and Brush, etc.) and in the Central European and Non Latin Typefaces section. This allows for a simple overview of all of Linotype’s many Central European and Non Latin typefaces; these include typefaces for Central European languages, Cyrillic, Greek, Arabic, Hebrew, and Armenian.

15015 MOSLEY, James. HANDMADE TYPE. Thoughts on the preservation of typographic materials. Oldham: Printed at the Incline Press on behalf of the Justin Howes Memorial Fund, 2007. 350 copies, tall narrow 4to, (268x155mm), [2],ii,25p. Original printed stiff wrappers. £15.00
This is the text, more or less as it was delivered, of the first Justin Howes memorial lecture, which was given at the St Bride Institute on 21 February 2006, just one year after Justin Howes died. It was intended mostly as a personal tribute to a friend, and as the reader may detect, it was not written with publication in mind. There was in fact more of it than could be spoken in a reasonable time. Since the generous offer has been made to print it, I have responded by making only some slight pruning and correcting, and I have added details of some the publications to which I referred. The general theme of this lecture is one with which I knew Justin had full sympathy. I had already approached it in an ‘Editorial’ that was published in the Bulletin du bibliophile, Paris, in the summer of 2005. I am well aware that there is no easy answer to the questions I raise. It seems to me, though, that it is high time to address them while we still have some grasp of the nature of the vanishing culture, technical and aesthetic, within which many typefaces that are currently in use were first created.

5786 OULD, Martyn & Martyn THOMAS. THE FELL REVIVAL. The story of the revival of the use of the Fell Types by the University Press, Oxford and others since 1864.

An good copy in original cloth, dustjacket. £65.00
The Fell types are widely acknowledged as being some of the finest typefaces extant. In this book the authors have uncovered a fascinating story of the problems faced by the OUP type foundry in casting new type from the `ancient' and often faulty matrices, the use of the types by the 'amateurs' Daniel and Hornby and some other surprising names, the impact of Horace Hart's management of the operation of the Press, of the Press's dealings with other publishers, and of life at there around the end of the nineteenth century. The text recounts a clash between typographer and artist, unauthorized use of the type and other germane matters and concludes with a handlist of over 280 books printed with the types. This is a splendid companion to Morison's magisterial Fell Types and a tribute to the Old School Press in the quality and care of the production.

14044 UPPER & LOWER CASE. U&lc UPPER & LOWER CASE. A small collection of 24 (of about 100) issues as detailed below. New York: International Typeface Corporation, 1980-94. Folio, (375x275mm), various paginations, profusely illustrated throughout in colour & monochrome. Original wrappers, some browning, mainly confined to the spine and outer margins, and small tears in a couple of covers, otherwise in very acceptable state for a publication with a `pass-along readership of about five to one, where the issues had to be cared for carefully if they were to be preserved, and most have disintegrated now.' £70.00
The collection comprises: (volumes & number) 7:4; 8:1,3,4; 9:1-4; 10:1; 11:2,3,4; 12:1-4; 18:4; 19:1,4; 20:1-4; 21-1. International Typeface Corporation (ITC) was founded to take advantage of the freedom of photographic typesetting; and decided that the most effective way to publicize its typeface designs was to publish a lively tabloid magazine, print it inexpensively on newsprint, and send it out to the graphic-design world. That magazine, Upper & Lower Case (U&lc), originally edited by Herb Lubalin and Aaron Burns and latterly by Margaret Richardson, and John Berry, became arguably the defining voice in world graphic design in the last quarter of the twentieth century. Eschewing the expense of glossy format (and consequent high retail price) while still commissioning some of the finest contemporary designers to design each issue, U&lc has become a monument to an era of monumental change and development in type design and its use, and in so doing provides a vibrant combination of popular culture and graphic design.

The collection comprises: (volumes & number) 7:2,3,4; 8:1,3,4; 9:1-4; 10: 1,3,4; 11-12:1-4; 13:2,3,4; 14:3; 17:3; 18:2,3,4; 19:1,3,4; 12:1-4; 21:1; 23:2; 24:2,3.
