Limited to 100 numbered copies. A fine copy in fine slipcase. Short biography of Bruce Rogers (1870-1957), a reprint of the 1965 Master's Thesis by G. Mansbridge, who was acquainted with Mr. Rogers during the last decade or so of his life. (Facing the title page is a color photo of the author and Mr. Rogers.) Per introduction, research for this thesis included interviews and a search for unpublished correspondence. There is no discussion of books designed by Mr. Rogers, but a concluding chapter quotes various comments, positive and negative, by others on the work of Rogers. Concludes with notes, and primary and secondary bibliographies (not updated since the original publication). Printed at the Stinehour Press. Bruce Rogers' colophon device is gilt-stamped on the front cover.
