The Portable Rabelais
Morris Colman, Clinton, Massachusetts, 1946
Description
Juror Notes
There are many points which make this book inviting. The format is attractive. The weight of the board used in the covers could well be adopted by others who make books of this general size. The title page is handsome, and the 9-point Caledonia makes a very easy page to read.
