See More... (Rogers, Bruce) THE HISTORY OF OLIVER AND ARTHUR.
(Boston Houghton, Mifflin and Company 1903) small 4to. quarter linen with linen corners, dark green textured paper sides, paper spine label. (xvi), cviii, (iv) pages.
Limited to 330 numbered copies printed at the Riverside Press, Cambridge. (Warde 39; Work of Bruce Rogers 95; Blumenthal p.17). This book is an excellent example of Bruce Rogers' allusive style (where he designed the book in a style appropriate to the period in which it was written.) In this case, Rogers has chosen to illustrate the book with woodcuts, evocative of the period, placed in the text. The book is printed in two columns with the Priory Text font. This is one of three books Rogers did in black-letter for the Riverside Press. Chapter headings, major initial letters, and page numbers are printed in red.The title page is printed with red swash lettering and a woodcut in black. The colophon is also printed in red with Bruce Rogers' initials and a classic thistle design. This is the first English translation of the tale originally written in French in 1511. The tale is of interest in its own right, and doubly so because it apparently is based on the same tale as William Morris' The Friendship of Amis and Amile. Extra spine label tipped in. Lacks slipcase. Spine label age darkened. Some wear at tips.

Cleveland and New York The World Publishing Co. 1949 large folio full red cloth, title gilt-stamped on spine, gilt decorations on boards; top edge gilt. xxii, (2), 942+(1) pages.
One of 950 copies printed. King James version with dedication to the King and introduction by the translators. The finest lectern Bible ever printed in America. Rogers worked on this book for four years. It was set in a Goudy type that was heavily modified by Bruce Rogers for this book. The typeface did not space to BR and Abraham Colish's standards so the original monotype composition was almost entirely releaded by hand. Paper for the Bible was specially commissioned for the book. This landmark in book design is becoming increasingly difficult to find. With 8 page prospectus loosely inserted. Boards and spine soiled and rubbed at edges. Names of previous owners inscribed on front pastedown. Hinges cracked. Free endpapers, title page and introductory pages torn or bent at lower corners. Shaken.

(Rogers, Bruce) INTERLUDES 1553-1576.
New York privately printed 1940 4to. cloth, dust jacket variously paginated
Limited to 25 numbered copies, this being "21." In 1940, the Pforzheimer Foundation arranged with the Morrill Press to reprint the six rarest sections of the three volume catalogue of the Pforzheimer Library (Chapman, Gascoigne, Interludes, Jonson, Marston and Spenser). Twenty-five sets were printer, boxed six to a set. Bruce Rogers was the designer of this new format. Some sets were signed by Rogers and distributed to friends of Pforzheimer and to some libraries. Infrequently, individual volumes were given away, of which this volume is one. There is no record of who received it in the Foundation's records.

Laid in is a letter, dated 18 April 1997, signed by "M.H.H." giving further information about the publication. "M.H.H." was Mihdi H. Handrea who worked at the Pzorzheimer Library for a number of years. He makes the following points in his two page handwritten letter to an unknown recipient:
1. Morrill Press commenced printing on 27 September 1940.
2. "Notice of Shipping" by parcel post to Pforzheimer on 21 October 1940.
3. Creators of three volume catalogue were Rogers and Frederic Warde (desigers); M. McFarlane of the Morrill Press; Arthur Jaffe (plates); Gerhard Gerlach (binding).
4. Individual numbers given away singly "without regard to their place in the numbered set."
5. Writer of this letter tried to "make a census" of copies during his tenure at the Pforzheimer Library in 1971 and 1976.
6. The Library of Congress received a second set of reprints with the Rogers collection in the early 1990s.
7. Writer was unable to identify the recipient of Interludes, signed copy # 21 (this copy).

Also laid in is a page of notes, dated 3 September 1976, with publication information, and a portion of a memo pad with information about the contents of the work.

Entries numbered 518 through 525. Contain detailed descriptions of title, publication data, detailed description of the work and bibliographical data.

Traces of removed bookplate on front pastedown.
