He extensively used the Cary Graphic Arts Collection, a rare book library devoted to the history of the book and printing acquired by RIT in 1969, and taught his students the importance of original manuscripts, early books, and the early types of Jenson, Aldus, and others.

In 1991, with her considerable achievements in bookbinding, calligraphy, and type design, Gudrun Zaptf von Hesse also won the Goudy Award.
