The Best of Don Marquis
Alma R. Cardi, Garden City, New York, 1946
Description
Juror Notes
It is hoped that standardization of formats to maximum press and paper sizes will never eliminate the planning of a small, narrow book such as this. It has a fine “feel,” with pleasant bulk and text paper and a delightfully inviting type page. The binding is smart; the title page is well laid out but the title lines are a trifle light in color.
