foundry find

this weekend i found a copy of the 1934 american type foundry specimen book. it's in pretty good shape and there's some really great stuff in it. you can see some of my favorite highlights below:







i also found milton glaser's graphic design, trademarks and symbols of the world from 1965, and a very large fold out poster of old type specimens from the the new york public library. it was a successful weekend indeed.
