About This Item
New York: V & A Publications/Harry N. Abrams, Inc., 2001. First edition. Hardcover. Fine copy/fine. Large 8vo. Boards. Pp. 208. Checklist. Illustrated. This is a profusely illustrated examination of book design and production, but where the unexpected is typical. So instead we have described here, for instance, a volume on parchment from the 15th Century, then later a comic book from the 20th.
