BR Marks & Remarks, The Marks by Bruce Rogers, et al., The Remarks by His Friends
Joseph Blumenthal, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 1946
Description
Juror Notes
The distinguished series of books in small format, published by the Typophiles, has never had a more charming representative. It is quite literally “a book to put in one’s pocket” (i.e., to steal if one doesn’t possess it already). The printing is excellent, and the reproductions, in various colors as well as black and white, beyond reproach.
