Thanks for catching that.

I’m a big John Alcorn fan. I’m not sure if he just designed the cover or if he did the page layouts as well. He was a big part of the Headliners and Morgan Press phototype revivals in the 60s, in addition to his Push Pin illustrations. Also, check out “Books!” by Murray McCain for the ultimate combination of his wood type and illustration interests.

Nice. Thanks for the tip.
