16mo. (14)ff. One of 100 copies, signed by Leonard Baskin. After acquiring several Jan van Krimpen fonts in three sizes, modeled on chancery script, Baskin designed this book. It contains eleven mottos, each decoratively printed with different sizes of type in subtle variations of color. One page uses seven colors. One of two books by Baskin devoted entirely to typography. In original Arno Werner marbled paper wrappers over boards, which show some toning along outer margins; split to lower spine. Nearly fine overall.
