From the Book Source Monthly review: "There may never have been an imprint bibliography so rich in books the average bookman would like to own; indeed, would like to read... A list of the publishers represented here would be a nearly complete list of the best scholarly and bookish institutions of this country... American Antiquarian Society, the Grolier Club, The Limited Editions Club, the Typophiles, the Pierpont Morgan Library, the New York Public Library..." From the dust jacket, quoting The Book Collector (Vol. 27, No. 4, 1976): "When the intellectual history of this period is examined it will be found that The Stinehour Press played a leading role in printing a record of our culture. It has been a leading force as a scholarly printer, and it has played an equally major role in its contribution to typographic excellence.". First Edition, Limited 1200 copies. Hardcover. New/New. xxi, 301pp. Great Packaging, Fast Shipping.
