A Century for the Century cover

Martin Hutner and Jerry Kelly present the hundred greatest printed books of the twentieth century.

A typophile’s delight, every book is illustrated in fine line duotone, many in color, and the captions that accompanied the original Grolier Club exhibit have been transcribed intact.

It is noteworthy that only two books in the survey were printed by offset; the rest are all letterpress. And although America is strongly represented, there are also selections from Italy, France, Germany, the Netherlands, England, Wales and Switzerland.
