(1971) Fifty Books of the Year

Description

Special Features: Each book is individually boxed. All sheets printed, die cut, hand collated, punched and bound. The die cutting required unusual accuracy—corrections were made from a pre-run, more strike sheets pulled, and further corrections made before the die cutting was approved.
