Descrizione

8vo. First Edition with plates and facsimiles in the text; terracotta cloth gilt back blue endpapers a very good bright clean copy in unclipped dustwrapper. WITH AN A.L.s FROM THE AUTHOR LOOSELY INSERTED. The letter is dated 18 September 1974 and written from Meynell's residence at The Grey House, Lavenham, Suffolk. It is highly characteristic, referring as it does to the design shortcomings of a published document -'the matter of the Report is full of interest - but its presentation - ugh! What conceivable justification is there for the vast head-of-page margins (and diminutive tail-margins) on type pages - made all the sillier by the full page arrangements of illustrated pages.' A copy of a newspaper obituary of the author is also included. A SPLENDID ASSOCIATION COPY OF MEYNELL'S AUTOBIOGRAPHY , ACCOMPANIED BY A TYPICALLY FORTHRIGHT CREATIVE OPINION FROM ONE THE LEADING BRITISH DESIGNERS AND TYPOGRAPHERS OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY.
