Christopher Marlowe
Paul Johnston, New York, New York, 1946
Description
Juror Notes
A well-made book on the whole. The leading of the Janson type and the selections of type sizes as they relate to the format of this book are excellent. The chapter openings and the title page are uniform and colorful. Although the chapter initials in Caslon seem disproportionately large, this may well be an instance of the jury’s personal tastes, and in any case this defect is offset by the excellent typesetting of the index. The stamping on the spine of the book is inferior.
