Description: Rochester, NY, The Printing House of Leo Hart, 1950. Hardcover. Small 4to. Blue cloth with gilt spine lettering, pictorial dust jacket. xv, 146pp. Pictorial map frontispiece, illustrations. Near fine/very good. Faint jacket wear, with jacket spine ever-so-slightly sunned. Sharp and tight first edition of the fourth volume in the interesting "Printer's Valhalla" series, here a study of the 15th century German printer who apprenticed under Gutenberg. Whether this deep blue cloth with pictorial jacket edition has precedence over the more common green cloth edition with non-pictorial jacket has not been determined. .
