* Of the Vijf Ponden Pers,
a series of exquisite bibliophile books printed in secret under the
Nazi occupation of the Netherlands, this is the very last one, printed
after the war. It is a compact text from 1936 about typography by Morison,
the designer of Times type. First Principles
of Typography was the credo of Jan van Krimpen, who was responsible
for the design AND for the type of this book.
