The Philistine: a periodical of protest (Vol. I, No. 6, November 1895)

Covers for Volume I ready in November. These will be in old style boards, in keeping with the artistic make-up of The Bibelot, and are supplied at 30 cents, postpaid. End papers and Title-page are included, whereby the local binder can case up the volume at about the cost of postage were it, as is usual, returned to the publisher for binding. The publishers announce that Little Journeys will be issued monthly and that each number will treat of recent visits made by Mr. Elbert Hubbard to the homes and haunts of various eminent persons. The subjects for the twelve numbers will be announced later. In this edition a most peculiar and pleasant effect is wrought by casting the Song into dramatic form. The Study is sincere, but not serious, and has been declared by several Learned Persons, to whom the proofsheets have been submitted, to be a Work of Art. The Volume is thought a seemly and precious gift from any Wife to any Husband, or from one Friend to another. The book is printed by hand, with rubricated initials and title page, on Dickinsons handmade paper. The type was cast to the order of the Roycroft Shop, and is cut after one of the earliest Roman faces. It is probable that no more beautiful type for book printing was ever made, and, for reasons known to lovers of books, this publication will mark an era in the art of printing in America. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
