A Tally of Types by Stanley Morison With Additions by Several Hands Edited by Brooke Crutchley London: Cambridge University Press, 1973 Quarto (10.5" x 6.5" approx.) paperback, 138pp. "Since the Tally was circulated in a privately printed edition in 1953m it has achieved a fame and influence wholly disproportionate to the comparatively small numer of copies in existence. Now, in a version edited and expanded by Brooke Crutchley and otehrs, this modern classic of typographical history and practice is made more generally available. // It is common knowledge that Stanley Morison provided the impetus and judgement behind the programme of typographical revival carried through by the Monotype Corporation int he 1920s and early 1930s. The Tally is an account, historical, critical and functional, of the types cut under Morison's direction during this period. " [From the cover]Condition is Poor/Fair with ding to top of cover/spine (creasing to spine only, no damage to binding), some shelfwear and bumping to head and tail of spine. Internally condition is nice, with pages clean and tidy with only slight age-toning. Covers dry and full opening may crack them. This condition seems to be consistent with many of the descriptions of this book for sale online elsewhere. Overall, a good working copy with wear to covers. ~ Please see additional
