Wow, I was searching for a typeface and came across the link to this post. I am a bit of a type design geek and I love books! I’ve been in the design and print industry for a while now and seeing beautiful type on paper has always fascinated me. Great post… That is awesome finding a little treasure like that. If you enjoy type design and the history be sure to check out a cool documentary, “Making Faces: Metal Type in the 21st Century”.

Hi! I was just trolling the interwebs, doing a little bit of family research, and came across this entry. I can help you with this mystery – Lou Kashins is my late great uncle. Lou was a graduate of Cooper Union (also, I believe, a Graphic Design major), and became a very successful ad man in New York City. I’m sure he was probably a co-worker of Murray Stein’s, although I can’t remember what agency he worked for. He was a very funny guy, and my grandmother’s favorite brother; he used to come visit my family in New Jersey when I was a little kid in the Seventies, and my brother and I found him highly entertaining.
Anyway, that’s the story! Isn’t the internet a weird place?

I want it! LOL. Love the book, obviously. I plan on hitting up this really great book store in Detroit in two weeks, hopefully I can find something as cool!
