Civilization and Disease
Robert Josephy, 1944
Description
Juror Notes
In harmony with the unusual choice of illustrations—made from old documents—for this book, the designer has avoided the dry and text-booky look that it might have had by an unusual arrangement for the chapter headings: he has set the chapter and its number flush at the left, indented the chapter title at a considerable space, and begun the first line of the text under it with the same indention. A sound book from the hand of a designer who always strives for utility, simplicity, and good taste.
Peter Beilenson, Paul McPharlin, Ernst Reichl (Jurors)
