This Washington Square Press boxed set from 1962 is very America in the early ’60s: the colors, the informal illustration, and the type – a casual hand-drawn boxy sans with a subtle swelling at the ends, **Microflair**.\n\nCompare to the 1970s Modern Library edition which also represents its time quite well.\n\n\n\n\n_**Source:  www.abebooks.com **Image: The Archives, Manassas, VA.
