Hot on the heals of Volume 56 comes 58 with some more amazing content. Including a great piece by F H K Henrion on the rationalization of papers and inks (accompanied by pages from his catalogue for Simplex Piling); a facsimile copy of Werkman's The Next Call 9; some excellent and detailed stuff on map design; and a superb fold-out promo for a (then) new-fangled typeface called "Univers" (it'll never catch on).
This was the first Penrose Annual I bought. I found it in a local second hand book shop for only a few pounds and it still remains one of my favourites. It was the first issue that Herbert Spencer edited and he obviously bought all his knowledge and contacts from Typographica with him.
