Description

Juror Notes

Typical of Overbrook Press work, this book has subdued color, beautiful presswork (from machine-set type), a distinguished illustrator, and fine but unobtrusive paper, the whole producing a bland, quiet effect most suitable for the text. The open-face lines of display type do not intrude upon the subtle colors of the typically Cleland illustrations. In short, this is truly a genteel little book. The binding, cloth backbone and paper sides, is not quite equal to the rest of the volume.

Peter Beilenson, Paul McPharlin, Ernst Reichl (Jurors)
