Two of the papers about him were written during Updike's lifetime; four were written shortly after his death in 1941; two were written specially for the present book. The long preliminary essay is the printer's own story of his career." "An Editor's Summary," p. 153. The contributors were Stanley Morison, Gregg Anderson, T.M. Cleland, M.A. de Wolfe Howe, George Parker Winship, Rudolph Ruzicka, David T. Pottinger, and Carl P. Rollins.
