Clean and Fine in its light-green, string-tied wrappers. 1,000 copies issued in Bertham type, designed by Frederick W. Goudy and produced by Syracuse University's School of Journalism. From the original laid-in prospectus: "Our School of Journalism joined with the New York Press Association last September in celebrating with Mr. Frederic W. Goudy the completion of his hundredth type design, now known as Bertham. At the dinner in honor of Mr. Goudy, he gave an address on Types, in which he presented something of his methods and ideals in type design. Mr. Goudy's address was regarded as of such importance that it has been made into the accompanying book, which is sent with the compliments of the School of Journalism to a limited number of lovers of beautiful printing.".
