- Philobiblon of Richard de Bury, Bishop of Durham
Printed in a fine press edition by the Book Club of California (San Francisco, 1934). Handsome typography and layout in red and black with illuminated initials. This is a limited edition copy, hand-numbered (#229 of 250), printed by Edwin and Robert Grabhorn. A cornerstone text for bibliophiles, originally written in the 14th century as a treatise in praise of books and learning. - A Record of the Proceedings at The Limited Editions Club Dinner – 11 May 1950
Published by George Macy Companies (1950). A beautifully printed commemorative volume celebrating the 21st anniversary of the Limited Editions Club and the 50th birthday of its founder. Includes a reproduction of the program and menu from the Ritz-Carlton dinner event. Printed on high-quality paper with elegant type and design—an artifact of mid-century American fine press culture. - The New Colophon: A Book Collectors’ Quarterly – Volume II, Part Five (January 1949)
