'This book should appeal, not only to typographer, designer, advertiser and art student, but to all those who are interested in fine book-work and in contemporary expression of the graphic arts. This is an unusual opportunity for the general public to obtain a printers’ type book, for they are mostly reserved exclusively for the trade. ‘ Contains illustrations and drawings by Edward Bawden, Henry Moore, John Nash, John Piper, Graham Sutherland. Cowelll thanks Stanley Morison, Robert Harling, R S Hutchings, Barnett Freedman, Isotype Institute and others for assistance in the production of this book.
