Price: $45.00
ISBN: 9781584561941
BPL Catalog Number: 447
Published 2006.
Edited by Scott- Martin Kosofsky.
This beautifully produced volume celebrates the centennial of Boston's Society
of printers, the oldest honorary society of its kind in America.
The book's ten original essays cover unusually broad ground for such a publication, not only delving into the Society's history and Boston's, but also into more philosophical terrain.
The authors are all noted scholars and practitioners: Lance Hidy, Jean Evans, Eleanor M. Garvey, James E. Mooney, Barry Moser, Katherine McCanless Ruffin, Darrell Hyder, Al Gowan, Victor Curran, and Scott-Martin Kosofsky. The designer of the book is the renowned Roderick Stinehour, who contributed a colophon that is a fine essay in its own right. Scott-Martin Kosofsky, well-known designer and author of Judaic works, edited the volume. As one might expect from a book produced by and for The Society of Printers, the Design and Execution are exceptional. The illustrations have been rendered in stunning four-color tone, making everything from the black-and-white images to the full color illustrations crisp and eye-catching. Co-published with The Society of Printers and The Boston Public Library. 268 pages.
