Printed in black with much use of colour especially with the ornaments; black imitation leather, embossed and titled in blind, grey endpapers. Inner hinges starting, excision to p.189 (De Vinne), head of spine frayed. A very good bright copy. Known as the 25 from the year in which it was produced, this is the finest specimen book ever done by BBS. It was produced under the general direction of Richard N. McArthur (formerly of the Keystone Type Foundry) who commissioned outside designers such as Will Ransom, Oswald Cooper, Carl S. Junge, George F. Trenholme and Ethel G. Hoyle to create new type faces and ornaments. The highlight of the catalogue is the first showing of Munder Venezian and Munder Bold, named in honour of Norman Munder of Baltimore, Dean of Printers of America during the 1910-1930 period.
