Original Wraps. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: No Jacket as issued. 1st Edition. Precursor to the 'Printing and the Mind of Man' exhibition with books borrowed from Ian Fleming's collection (24 items) and John Maynard Keynes (25 items) and 93 other individuals and institutions all listed. In all 641 items. 136pp. Printed on Basingwerk Parchment. The exhibition closed within ten days of opening because of the outbreak of World War II. This is the first printing with the Reynolds Stone wood engraving to the top cover and the legend 'Complimentary Copy' printed to the top right hand corner, indicating that it is one of a short run of copies printed for distribution to lenders and others who assisted with the exhibition. This copy was owned by Arthur Tillotson of Cambridge University Library whose assistance in the preparation of the exhibition is credited in the list of acknowledgments on page viii at the conclusion of which it is noted: 'As the catalogue goes to press, it has been reluctantly decided to close the Exhibition, owing to the increased danger of damage from air-raids.' Tillotson's inked signature is on the front cover. In the subsequent reprint of July the circumstances obtaining at the time are described as follows: 'As this catalogue was about to go to press, a sudden change in the war situation made it appear advisable to close the Exhibition when it had been opened only ten days. The catalogue was printed off, nevertheless, so that copies might be sent to all who had helped and others be available for sale. The demand proved greater than had been expected and this reprint was put in hand in which a few errors and oversights have been made good.' Minor wear to the original blue wrappers otherwise a firm, clean copy. Both printings are uncommon in any condition. This first printing in the 'Complimentary Copy' state is particularly scarce.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good Minus. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fair. 1st Edition. First Edition (NAP, MDCCCCLII on the title page, separate Erratum correcting page 21, line 17). 'Illustrated by Reproductions of Drawings, Specimens of Types Lettering and Bookwork.' Once listed, this will be the Only copy of the book signed by Jan Van Krimpen that is for sale anywhere on the Internet. The signed inscription reads (in stylish penmanship) 'To Patricia Lauber from J. van Krimpen, July 1953.' (See photo). Patricia Lauber was an author of many children's books. Her 'Volcano: The Eruption and Healing of St. Helens' won the Newbery Honor award in 1987. She was also 'the founding editor-in-chief of Science World, a science magazine for high school students, and she was the chief editor in science and mathematics for The New Book of Knowledge by Grolier, an encyclopedia for young people. She wrote non-fiction as well as fiction for children. In 1983, she won the Washington Post/Children's Book Guild Award for her overall contribution to children's non-fiction literature.' She lived in New Canaan, Connecticut, the town next to mine. You can see the covers in the photos. They are exceptionally clean. There's one small spot on the front and one area on the rear where the burgundy color is a little darker. There is a bump/crease at both the top and bottom corners of the front cover. There's also a little tanning at the spine ends. The gilt lettering on both the front cover and on the spine is nicely bright. All six of the cover edges are in excellent condition. There is only a speck-sized spot of rub-through at the front bottom corner, and a little spot of fraying (without rub-through) at the top corner. The book is very solidly bound from cover to cover with nicely tight pages throughout. There is a slight space over (only) the top half of the juncture between the front inside cover and front end paper. The front cover is tightly bound from top to bottom, no give. The rear cover is tightly bound from top to bottom as well, no spaces at its juncture with the rear end paper. The signed front end paper has a tan shadow over its left half. The rear end paper has a similar shadow, may have something to do with where the dust jacket's flap leaves off. The pages are exceptionally clean. Scrolling through, I haven't found any instances of soiling. There is a small tan area off the top inside corner of the title page, maybe a small slip of paper was left there. There's also a square light tanning on the frontispiece and facing title page. I'm guessing possibly a tissue guard was once there. It is not much of anything and doesn't recur on any other pages. The bump to the top corner of the front cover created a corresponding crease at the top corners of all the pages, far from the print. There are no markings in the book. There are no attachments of any kind. And the signed inscription represents the only writing to be found anywhere. You can see the dust jacket in the first few photos. There are several losses. There are also vertical tears on both sides of the spine (the protective cover, which I've always had on the jacket, mostly conceals this). There are areas at the junctures where there are no tears, so there is no detachment. There is also one small tear going horizontally across the spine, over the letter 'W'. The front, rear and spine are very clean. There's just one very small loss off the top edge of the rear flap. There is spotting/foxing on the rear flap, just a few small tan spots on the front flap. As mentioned, the dust jacket is fitted with a protective cover. 'Jan van Krimpen was a Dutch typographer, book designer and type designer. He worked for the printing house Koninklijke Joh. Enschedé. He also worked with Monotype in England, who issued or reissued many of his designs outside the Netherlands. Van Krimpen was a leading figure of international reputation in book printing during his lifetime. He designed books both in the Netherlands and for the Limited Editions Club of New York, amongst others.'. Signed by Illustrator(s).
