Description
Westvaco Christmas Books
Over a span of 50 years, between 1958 and 2007, the West Virginia Pulp and Paper Company issued annually one limited edition book, sent to employees, vendors and friends at Christmas time.
The Features of the Westvaco Book Design
Bradbury Thompson, a wonderfully innovative designer, had been working with Westvaco for 20 years before their Christmas series began. He established design elements that carried on over the years.
The Gordons
Probably best remembered today because of the film versions of Operation Terror and Undercover Cat, in the mid-Twentieth Century the Gordons were an honored fixture in American crime fiction.
The Gordons: A Checklist of First American Editions
Most of the Gordons’ first editions are scarce, and since collector’s copies hard to find in fine condition, they vary widely in price. Some of their best are still inexpensive.
