First edition. This book is rapidly becoming a minor classic. Professor Catich, a noted calligrapher, has written a scholarly essay tracing the role of the serif in brush writing and in stone cutting and has accompanied his essay with many illustrations. The book is excellently designed and artfully uses green and red colored ink throughout.
