Lectures Françaises, A Conversational Approach to Reading, A Reading Approach to Conversation: Book I Elementary, Book II Intermediate
Stanley Burnshaw, Cambridge, Massachusetts, 1946
Description
Juror Notes
The manuscript for these volumes must have presented the designer with many problems. In the finished books one sees them solved with well-ordered typography. The double-spread title pages are attractive and the binding designs are excellent. The presswork leaves much to be desired.
