It will stimulate a return to an understanding of the true function of letters ..." His words still hold true 40 years later. First plate age yellowed as usual from cloth in case. Signed by Catich on first blank page and he has also added a presentation "to John Michael, E.M. Catich." In addition, the preface has been signed and dated by Dwiggins.
