Limited to 100 signed and numbered copies. In fine condition. A stunning collection of specimen alphabets and display settings of over 24 type faces held by the press, including Garamond, Caslon, Lutetia and Weiss, Sans serifs and Wood type. Gives a brief history of each face and designer, and its adaptation by others. Beautifully printed on 8 different types of paper and includes sample leaves from 5 Caliban press books (and thus considered a leaf book). Much more than just a type specimen book -- a reflection of the design skills of the printer, Mark McMurray.
