In 1948, the noted book designer and Purdue alumnus Bruce Rogers wrote a book that documented and illustrated his creation of the Centaur typeface. The book was privately printed by Rogers himself under the name of his studio, October House. This limited edition of the book was transferred to the Purdue Libraries at the time of death along with his other papers and books.
Over the years the remaining stock has found its home in the Special Collections of the Libraries. And although known as something of a collector's item by those who are aware of the few copies in circulation, it is here available to the general market for the first time.
Purdue University Press is particularly proud to offer this original 1949 edition of Centaur Types for distribution on behalf of the Purdue Libraries. Of special interest to graphic designers, typographers, and all those enthralled with the printed word, this is a fitting example of fine book-making from one of the master book designers. Centaur Types is a true classic of its kind., ISBN13:9781557530523 ISBN10:1557530521 Material Type:hardcover
