Beerbohm, Max, Sir, 1872-1956 The Happy Hypocrite : a fairy tale for tired men New Fairfield [Conn.]: B. Rogers, October House, 1955. Centaur type; decorations by Bruce Rogers; 600 copies. Case bound in decorated boards with cloth back stamped in gold. ____________________ The Happy Hypocrite is beautifully WHOLE – the inspired use of decorations throughout printed in old rose to match the color of the cover paper where the decorations are then printed in dull purple to work with the book cloth of the spine where the reverse gold stamping leaves a sans serif (!) title providing just the right offbeat appropriate for the text within, which is perfectly served by the typography. This book is so thoroughly interwoven that it never ceases to delight. It reflects the felicity of the master bookworker left to his own devices. Claire Van Vliet |
