Lasting Impressions: The Grolier Club Library

Description

This vibrantly illustrated catalog documents the extensive book collection of America’s oldest society for bibliophiles. The catalog examines in detail some of the Grolier Club’s most striking and significant works, organizing them in chapters with such topics as typography, book illustration and writing. An aggressive color scheme throughout, coupled with the font Lexicon, a Dutch typeface designed for dictionaries, presents a bold new look for the 121-year-old library.
