Joseph Blumenthal, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 1946

Description

Juror Notes

The jury was happy that some moderately priced entries could be selected among the Fifty Books of 1946. Of these there is no more quietly satisfying volume than this handy little pocket edition of 480 pages. The presswork shows variation in color but not serious enough to count this book out considering the conditions of its manufacture.
