The First Century of the John Carter Brown Library: A History with a Guide to the Collections
John Bianchi, Boston, Massachusetts, 1946
Description
Juror Notes
Although this is a traditional book, in a style that Merrymount made famous in years past, it is so well printed both as to text and reproductions, and so appropriately bound, that the jury felt impelled to include it. There is harmony in every part—a rare achievement.
