Detail

From the inner flap:

“Just wait till you have children of your own” is one of the classic threats that parents have resorted to when all else fails to influence their offspring. And it takes on added comic force here as two of America's foremost family humorists present a hilarious look at teenagers of today.

The first edition of this book by writer Erma Bombeck (1927–1996) and cartoonist Bil Keane (1922–2011) features a very contained use of Bookman Meola. The only alternates – the s, the C, and the O – all twirl inwardly instead of swashing outwardly. I interpret the design choice as a way of portraying an otherwise composed parent coming ever so slightly undone by their children.

Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird was translated to the German by Claire Malignon and first published by Rowohlt in 1962. This rororo paperback edition from 1978 uses Bookman Meola, one of the more questionable outgrowths of 1970s obsession with swashes. Distributed in Germany since around 1970 by Berthold Fototype, it’s here set with extra-tight letterspacing and little regard for avoiding interlinear collisions.

The cover of this 1975 reissue of Music for Voice and Guitar from 1965 (LSC-2718) features a painting by Texas artist Tony Eubanks – and the elusive Bookman Meola.

The swash-laden Bookman interpretation was made in a single upright style and advertised by Berthold Fototype in September 1970. Initially listed without source information, a later catalog from 1982 credits the design to Robert Trogman’s Facsimile Fonts. In the first line, all but one letter (u) use swashy alternates. In the second one, the uncredited typographer showed more restraint and swashified only the caps and the f.

From Folkways Records:

Weakened by war and disease, Native peoples of Florida banded together with members of other tribes whom Europeans had forced southward from their homelands to form the Seminoles in the 18th century. Though a large number of Seminoles were relocated to Oklahoma, many stayed in Florida, especially in the Everglades. Dr. Frances Densmore (1867–1957) collected these recordings from 1931 to 1933 on repeat visits to two reservations in Florida. Densmore spent most of her life studying and recording American Indian music, an unlikely career path for a woman at a time when it was unheard of for a proper lady even to travel to “wild” areas.

Ronald Clyne designed the cover using a photograph taken by Densmore, plus one of the more ridiculous additions to the Bookman genre: the single-style Bookman Meola comes with “197 rather clumsily-drawn swash characters”, in the words of Mark Simonson. Although the typeface offered up to eight different glyphs per character, Clyne stuck to one form per glyph – with the exception of the a. The cover was produced in two color variants, in a reddish brown and in purple.

Christmas Follies is the third album by the Salsoul Orchestra, comprised predominantly of Christmas songs.

The title of the album uses a version of Bookman distinguished by wonkily-swashed letter forms: Bookman Meola. The track listing is comparatively restrained, though – it's a standard version of Bookman.

No designer is credited. The photograph is by Joel Brodsky.

The design was also used for a single release, featuring the same typefaces.

In 1981, a second volume followed. Christmas Jollies II has a red cover and a second mirrored woman.
