This is from an incredible type specimen book that JP once showed me. He inherited it from his professor and friend Paul Rand. The book's previous owner, Jan Tschichold, one of the most influential typographers of the 20th century, left his ex libris inside the front cover. An incredible history. *[See and read more at AmassBlog.]
I just posted about this today -- I absolutely loved reading the story/history.
