About This Item
Norman, Oklahoma: University of Oklahoma Press, 1956-07. Second Printing. Hardcover. Very Good+/Good+ Dust Jacket. 12x8x4. Norman, Oklahoma: University of Oklahoma Press, 1955 original copyright, this is the second printing of the first edition, 1956 (more notes on printing and hand-lettered binding below). vii, 246pp. Book itself in very good+ condition; DJ in good+ condition. Text is unmarked and clean, pages bright and crisp. Binding is tight, sturdy, and square. Corners sharp. Top edge is dark blue and matches color of boards and jacket. Very light edgewear to head and heel (wouldn't even merit mention on a book of lesser value). Clipped dust jacket has moderate wear to edges, including some small closed tears and three pea-sized chips, and light rubbing. The silver and blue cover remains bright, DJ now protected in Mylar wraps. From colophon: "The text of this book was set on the Linotype in elven-point Electra, a type with a contemporary flavor, well suited to a book on techniques as modern as those of public relations. Chapter heads are set in Metromedium with Electra italics. The book title of the title page and binding was lettered by hand. The paper used is Warren's Olde Style." Contributors include Edward Bernays (as editor and contributor of essay), Howard W. Cutler, Sherwood Dodge, Benjamin Fine, Doris Fleischman, A. Robert Ginsburgh, John Price Jones, and Nicholas Samstag. From my own private collection (thus my confidence in saying that text is unmarked). Ships from Dinkytown in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
