    •   Legros, L.A. REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE APPOINTED TO SELECT THE BEST FACES OF TYPE AND MODES OF DISPLAY FOR GOVERNMENT PRINTING. With A NOTE ON THE LEGIBILITY OF PRINTED MATTER. PREPARED FOR THE INFORMATION OF THE COMMITTEE ON TYPE FACES BY LUCIEN ALPHONSE LEGROS.
    2 volumes. London H.M. Stationery Office 1922 4to. later cloth with original paper wrappers bound-in for first title; self paper wrappers for second title. (ii), 18 pages followed by the plates; (ii), 17 pages.
    This interesting report was issued in an effort to specify what constituted good typography for Government printing jobs. Legros's report to the committee traced the history up to his day of what was known about the physiological aspects of book design, ie, the size of letters, white space, etc., on the reader's ability to concentrate on the printed word. The plates (plates 1-9, plates 1a-9a, plates 10-14) demonstrate design before and after changes in typography.

      Leroy, David H. MR. LINCOLN'S BOOK: PUBLISHING THE LINCOLN-DOUGLAS DEBATES.
    With a Census of Signed Copies New Castle, DE & Chicago, IL Oak Knoll Press & Abraham Lincoln Book Shop 2009 6 x 9 inches cloth, dust jacket 228 pages
    Fifty years ago, David Mearns at the Library of Congress wrote a twenty-page overview of the basic process that led to the publication of the Lincoln-Douglas debates. Here, for the first time in a detailed and readable account focusing on Lincoln's personal involvement, Dave Leroy writes the full story with original correspondence, contemporary newspaper accounts, and photos and illustrations of the day to carry the reader from the dejected debater of 1858 to the surprise president of 1860 who rode a political bestseller to the White House. In 1954, Illinois historian Harry Pratt located and described eighteen inscribed copies of the Lincoln-Douglas Debates. In this new work, 42 signed volumes are identified.

    Perhaps the last remaining Lincoln mystery is also explained at length: did Lincoln make one or two paste-up scrapbooks of the original newspaper texts of his and Douglas' verbatim debate remarks? If only one existed, why did a New York newspaper account hint at another in December, 1860? If there were two, what became of the second? Like a lawyer before a jury, Leroy marshals the facts to let the reader decide. Ultimately, Mr. Lincoln's Book asks the reader to resolve the century and a half old debate: was Lincoln an author? Some argue that he wasn't, but Leroy leads us to conclude that Lincoln, in more ways than not, was author of the book publishing the debates.

    It is a rare day when something novel is published about Abraham Lincoln's life and work. Yet 20,000 volumes later, Mr. Lincoln's Book is an unknown study, well researched and compellingly told. The printed volume is accompanied by a CD-ROM containing a complete copy of Lincoln's scrapbook of the debates, copies and transcriptions of Lincoln's correspondence, and some related political cartoons and photographs.

    A former prosecutor, attorney general, lieutenant governor, and United States Nuclear Waste Negotiator, Dave Leroy has written and spoken about Lincoln for thirty years. He holds an Honorary Doctorate of Law degree from Lincoln College and serves as chairman of the Governors Council of the United States Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial Commission. This is his first book-length text about Lincoln. Leroy lives with his wife Nancy in Boise, Idaho, and Bordeaux, France.
