Original Wrappers. Condition: Near Fine binding. First Edition. 16mo. [8] pp. French fold. Limited edition, one of 300 copies. As issued, sewn in printed wrappers. Only light shelfwear; spine a touch sunned. A bright, clean copy of this keepsake printed for 20th Annual Conference on Printing Education. Designed and printed by C.… Harold Lauck and bound by Ida Baskerville Lauck. A charming keepsake written from the perspective of a piece of type describing itself: "I am known as Type. My artificier, the printer, has named me after his kind. thus I have Face, Shoulder, Body and Feet. When he blows the breath of life into my leaden contours, I quicken into being, and unlike Adam, obey faithfully his every wish. . . . Remarkably uncommon.
