The Golden Encyclopedia
Sandpiper Press, Artists and Writers Guild, New York, New York, 1946
Description
Juror Notes
A good book that won its place because of the difficulties overcome in the organization of material and despite obvious lack of harmony. The cover is less successful than the inside, where the legibility of the type and the excellence of the offset printing are strong points in the book’s favor.
