ill., br. "The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog" è il pangram più famoso in lingua inglese, ovvero la frase di senso compiuto più breve possibile in cui vengono utilizzate tutte le lettere dell'alfabeto. Proprio per questo si presta per testare con semplicità la resa grafica dei caratteri tipografici: tutte le lettere, subito, a disposizione, che si nascondono in costruzioni, segnali stradali e arredi urbani. Sono sottili, immobili, non urlano per essere sentite, ma sono ovunque. Sono caratteri di vita urbana, un continuo fluire tipografico silenzioso, un "dalla A alla Z" realizzato interamente a Londra con la collaborazione di Andreu Llorens. Da un'idea a metà fra design e fotografia, il repertorio dei 26 caratteri stampati e rilegati.

Limited Edition of only 425 copies. Third Edition. Nice example." The story is about an attempt to uncover the identity of Mr W.H., the enigmatic dedicatee of Shakespeare's Sonnets. It is based on a theory, originated by Thomas Tyrwhitt, that the Sonnets were addressed to one Willie Hughes, portrayed in the story as a boy actor who specialized in playing women in Shakespeare's company. This theory depends on the assumption that the dedicatee is also the Fair Youth who is the subject of most of the poems. The only evidence for this theory is a number of sonnets (such as Sonnet 20) that make puns on the words 'Will' and 'Hues." - Wiki.

"The novellino is a collection of fifty stories, each one told by the writer separately, without any striving after continuity. Masuccio does not trouble himself like certain others of the Novellieri, to construct a setting for his work, and to feign that the tales are told in turn by the work, and to feign that the tales are told in turn by the various members of a gentle company brought together by hazard. He tells us that all his novels are true, and that in many cases he is only setting down what he has learnt by the evidence of his senses. " Very nice set. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! SET/W47
