Reviews for The Proper Decoration of Book Covers – The Life and Work of Alice C. Morse

"""[It] will be an invaluable reference tool and is likely to set a standard for future studies of designer American publishers' bindings - if only we had similar information available for the work of Sarah Wyman Whitman and Margaret Armstrong!"" - Michael Winship, Professor of English, at the University of Texas at Austin"""
