Book Description: David R. Godine, Publisher. 1 Cloth(s), 2004. hard. Book Condition: New. Any serious book collector (and the most serious belong to New York's Grolier Club, that pre-eminent shrine for bibliophiles) harbors a latent penchant for book lists, particularly when presented in neat doses of one hundred titles. Here then are the 100 greatest printed books of the 20th century (at least in the opinions of Grolier's Messrs. Hutner and Kelly), from L'Imprimerie Nationale's 1900 pressing of Paul Verlaine's Parallèlement, with lithographs by Pierre Bonnard, to Wild Carrot Letterpress's illustrated 1996 selection of Rumi's poetry Divan-E-Shams. Each is represented by one large sample page, reproduced in duotone or color."This is a book that all lovers of printing as a fine art will acquire & pore over: hardly a page does not offers something to arouse interest & satisfy the eye."—Bibliographical Society of America 110.

Book Description: David R. Godine Publisher, United States, 2004. Hardback. Book Condition: New. Rev and Enl ed. 312 x 237 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. Here are the hundred greatest printed books of the twentieth century. Given another pair of editors, you'd probably be offered a different list, but this one serves and serves well, for it concentrates not only on the recognized chestnuts, but also lesser-known, and often exceedingly recherche volumes that have left their mark. It is noteworthy that only two books in the survey were printed by offset; the rest are all letterpress.This survey, while admittedly neither comprehensive nor definitive, provides an overview of fine printing over the past hundred years. Despite Morison's contention that typography is the most conservative of all the arts, the forms, designs, and techniques of book production continue to mutate, evolve, and advance. If we are to overcome the complexities of a digital age, we would do well to appreciate, if not embrace, the heritage so convincingly presented on these pages.
