The Little Magazine, A History and a Bibliography

P.J. Conkwright, Helen Van Zandt, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 1946

Description

Juror Notes

D.B. Updike was fond of quoting the saying, “There is nothing new except that which has been forgotten.” Nevertheless, the arrangement of the illustrated chapter headings at the upper corner of the page in this book seems original and is carried through consistently, including the cover and the attractive title page. A well-organized bibliography and index occupy nearly half the pages, without detriment to the unity of the whole.
