A NOTE
ON THE TYPE
IN WHICH THIS BOOK IS SET

This book is set in Electra, a Linotype face de-
signed by W. A. Dwiggins. This face cannot
be classified readily as either “modern” or “old-
style.” It is not based on any historical model,
nor does it echo any particular period or style.
It avoids the extreme contrast between “thick”
and “thin” elements that mark most “modern”
faces, and attempts to give a feeling of fluidity,
power, and speed. The book was composed,
printed, and bound by H. Wolff, New York.
The paper was manufactured by
S. D. Warren Co., Boston.
