1975This is a very good copy in a plastic comb binding (intact), stiff paper covers printed in color with Hamilton paper sample names: 'Weycroft', 'Andorra', 'Victorian', 'Louvain', 'Carousel', 'Kashmir', 'Gainsborough', etc. No date but ca. 1970's. Each of the 8 paper sample sections has a color printed title page with the different paper weights and characteristics available in that sample, followed by a number of blank sheets in different colors that are available with that sample. Catalog designed by S. Neil Fujita who did all the decorations on the covers and individual title pages, in a playful abstract style. The cover design is signed, also the colophon lists Neil Fujita as the designer of the catalog. Sadamitsu "S. Neil" Fujita (1921- 2010) was an American graphic designer known for his innovative book cover and record album designs. Afficionados will know his works, for example the album covers he designed for Dave Brubeck, like the Time Out album (with the tune Take Five). A number of his book dust jacket designs were memorable, for example the one for Truman Capote's 'In Cold Blood', and perhaps his best, the one for Mario Puzo's 'The Godfather'. 11" high X 10" wide. All printing in offset lithography. Rare. This book will be securely wrapped and packed in a sturdy box and shipped with tracking.
