Max Burchartz ate my bank balance

Back in 1993, when this boxed set was published by Lars Müller (one of a series) I was stoney broke. I'd seen a few sets pass through a local bookshop, well out of my financial reach and with each one my desire to purchase became all the greater.

I can't remember quite how much they cost (except that it was too much for me), who the subjects of the previous editions were (except that they were similar typographical pioneers) or, for that matter, how I managed to scrape enough together to eventually buy this one (reckless overdraft extension probably).

Needless to say, I'm now very glad I was so irresponsible.

There's more to see you know where.
