Amazing illustration, by Jerome Snyder. The book also credits art director Edward A. Hamilton and designer Norma Levarie and even Stanley Morison for designing Times New Roman (used inside) in 1931!



Was thinking I probably had another Roy Kuhlman design laying around here somewhere. Lo and behold: this one just one color. I guess that’s a railing?

Boy, Roy Kuhlman sure was having fun over there at Evergreen…

Also, I love finding hidden little treats from the past, like someone’s addition to the half title here…

This is the 8th printing of this, but I imagine it’s the same cover as ’55. Another nice one from Evergreen/Grove, and quite possibly our pal Roy
.
Aaaah, I loves me a nice Albers knock-off.
The copyright page design credit is for John O. C. McCrillis, but I think that’s just the inside.

Update!
Seen a couple comments/inquires out there about the typeface. I WISH I knew what it was. It’s great. Just for kicks, I scanned the spine so you could see some more of it…
