DELUXE COLLECTION: 1] Deluxe issue of the facsimile, handbound in three volumes like the original sketchbooks, in a handmade slipcase. Signed and numbered by Jerry Kelly. Plus 2] Deluxe edition of “The Fine Art of Letters: The Work of Hermann Zapf.” Catalogue of the 2000 Grolier Club exhibition, out-of-print. One of a limited edition of 20 copies including a portfolio of original leaves from several prime Hermann Zapf publications, such as “Pen and Graver,” “Die Armée der Don Quixote,” “Das Blumen ABC,” and others. Plus 3] Deluxe edition of “About More Alphabets,” including a portfolio of 4 typographic broadsides printed letterpress in Hermann Zapf typefaces, signed and slipcased. Plus 4] A rare original type specimen of Palatino type on Japanese paper, printed at the Stempel typefoundry c. 1950. We believe these to be the first printing from the new type, and that only a handful were printed. Plus 5] An upper and lower case Z (for “Zapf,” of course) in genuine metal type from four of Zapf’s most important typeface designs: Gilgengart, his first typeface designed in 1938; Palatino, his breakthrough type designed in 1948; Optima, his revolutionary sans-serif design of 1958; and Hunt roman; a rare private font designed in 1960.
