Frederic Warde has sent his books from Paris, and we have not learned just what were included. Thomas Cleland is represented by a dainty book of verses, "Serenade" by Hugh Western; Arthur Machen's "Ornaments in Jade"; and a book in italics, Dunsany's "The Compromise of the King of the Golden Isles," printed for the Grolier Club.

Dwig gins have been lent: a little book on "Modern Color"; and the first edition of Willa Cather's "My Mortal Enemy," with drawings on variously colored backgrounds as chapter heads. And "Nowel, Being Certain Presumably Elizabethan Verses with Pictures by Walter Dorwin Teague" represents that artist. Joseph Pennell had a very active part in the British end of the Leipzig Exhibition in 1914; and Mrs. Pennell is very enthusiastic about the American representation this year. She has arranged for sending those big, lavishly illustrated tomes, "Pen Drawing and Pen Draughtsmen," "Etchers and Etching," "Our Philadelphia," and the "Adventures of an Illustrator," together with several leaves of proofs for the latter. Ernest Peixotto's drawings are shown, illustrating "A Revolutionary Pilgrimage"; "Our Hispanic Southwest;" "Through Spain and Portugal;" and "The American Front."

With Mr. Jones's books are included four lay-outs., The rollicking character of Mr. Wilson's lavish colored woodcuts is shown at its best in "Full and By," and "Iron Men and Wooden Ships." "The Miracle of Coral Gables," and "La Salle, a Companion Car to Cadillac" indicate the loving care that is given to our best advertising. Vojtech Preissig is represented by "Syncopating Saxophones," the design of which certainly has the spirit of syncopation; "A Special Course in Etching and Block Printing" (being a handsome little folder); and a Lakeside Press brochure on Offset Lithography. "Voyaging Southward from the Strait. of Magellan," and "Wilderness, a Journal of Quiet Adventure in Alaska," by Rockwell Kent, containing reproductions of his bleak drawings, represent this original artist. Rudolph Ruzicka's inimitable wood engravings are shown in "New York," BOOK BINDERS "Newark," and "Fountains of Papal Rome." The American showing includes nearly two hundred separate items. However well they may compare with the showings of the various countries in other respects, it is believed that they will compare very favorably indeed typographically. The present Leipzig exhibition emphasizes books as objects of art more than did the 1914 exhibition. Whether or not it will be a greater exhibition than the former one (tragically ended by the war) remains to be seen. In any case the contemporary American book arts will be really represented at a Leipzig exhibit for the first time. The exhibition will remain open until September, and a large tourist attendance is expected. McNAMEE BOOK BINDING CO., Inc. 426-428 West Broadway Edition Binding in Cloth and Leather Tel.
