The Work of Bruce Rogers 370; Stark Books Designed by Bruce Rogers p. 10; Rogers Paragraphs on Printing p. 72: "If the style of typographic treatment was ever unmistakably indicated by the content it was in this instance. Boswell and Baskerville were contemporaries and had these papers been published during Boswell's lifetime they might well have appeared in something like their present form though perhaps not so luxuriously printed. The modern Baskerville type seemed by all odds the logical one to use." Laid in are: the prospectus in original red wrappers with paper label on upper cover; announcement of Scott's passing and Pottle's taking up the mantel in original red wrappers with gilt title on upper wrapper; two letters to the writer and critic Harry Hansen from J. B. Orrick and Frederick Pottle along with Hansen's typescript review of the second wave of papers discovered at Malahide; a signed typescript letter from Isham to accompany the announcement of Pottle's entry into the project; and an order form. <br/><br/> William Edwin Rudge hardcover books
