Small beautiful book, created with dedication and care. A collection of essays responding to an older collection of essays. Contemporary essays are intercalated with facsimile reprints of the older material. The essays vary from biographical to whimsical to archival, and the overall effect is charming and informative, if a little whimsical and even random.

The book is set in Arial with Filosofia for the Introduction and occasional material; both fonts designed by women. No one would question Filosofia, it is beautiful. Arial, however; I suspect Arial is chosen as a sort of "anti-design" statement. As a body text it is somewhat dry in a book and a couple of the essays use Arial condensed (I hope deliberately), which is a bit of a strain.

I recommend this book to anyone with even a passing interest in the print arts and/or the trade union movement of the 1980s.
